Rebuilding mesa and drm wouldn't help, as you need a new xorg ddx driver.
I'm not quite sure why the igp 9100 is tagged as requiring the new 
memmap code (only newer chips should need it), but I guess it should 
work (for that chip) if you just remove the CHIP_NEW_MEMMAP flag in 
drivers/char/drm/drm_pciids.h, if you have a self-built kernel. 
Otherwise I guess you're out of luck, and you should just update the ddx 
driver.
