Tablet GPU drivers, dual boot Linux?

As I saw that Jolla Tablet is gonna use Intel CPU (I suppose 64 bit BayTrail-T) I'm wondering will it use Intel open source Linux drivers for GPU or some hybrid drivers to have android-like ecosystem?

That is somehow connected to ability to boot other Linux distros, hook onto monitor and have very portable working device. Of course, for that to be possible, we need confirmation if firmware (UEFI or Coreboot) will be made in mind for custom OS boot.
