With the updated intel-vaapi-driver, vainfo says:

Trying display: x11
libva info: VA-API version 1.22.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
libva info: Trying to open /usr/local/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
libva info: Trying to open /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Trying to open /usr/local/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_22
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA-API version: 1.22 (libva 2.22.0)
vainfo: Driver version: Intel i965 driver for Intel(R) Sandybridge Desktop - 2.4.1
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
      VAProfileMPEG2Simple	      : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileMPEG2Main	      : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointEncSlice
      VAProfileH264Main		      : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileH264Main		      : VAEntrypointEncSlice
      VAProfileH264High		      : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileH264High		      : VAEntrypointEncSlice
      VAProfileH264StereoHigh	      : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileVC1Simple	      : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileVC1Main		      : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileVC1Advanced	      : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileNone		      : VAEntrypointVideoProc

So I suppose I can use the i965 to help decode some H264 videos.

	Thanks!
