1) Callouts are not yet entirely fixed in HEAD yet. Fixes and 
discussions are still ongoing, see D1894. BTW: I'm using:

https://reviews.freebsd.org/D1438

2) Maybe you could consider adding "SUBDIR_PARALLEL=" to some of the 
drm2 Makefiles?

3) After a lot of digging I found the only way to get flicker free video 
with XVideo using the Intel driver was to configure X.org like this:

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Device0"
    Driver "intel"
    Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
    Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

Maybe that could be the default?

4) High Xorg usage is not solved:

  1026 root          1  26    0    99M 26928K 915gbr  0   1:03   8.89% Xorg

  1026 root          1 102    0    99M 26936K CPU0    0   1:52  98.58% Xorg
