It's a one-liner in each of the three DRI2 capable drivers.  Not a lot
of work.  And the couple of libdrm calls in DRI2 always stood out a
bit in what could otherwise be a generic, DIX level extension.  So I
think these patches make sense, and once the DDX drivers have picked
up support for this, we'll bump the API and move DRI2 up as a DIX
extension.
