Hi!

Isn't the commit

5c6a2f93ebc16a78093782b442306de23ae94e78
xfree86: Kill pixmapPrivate  with a vengeance (v2)

a major ABI breakage (It alters the layout of the ScreenInfoRec 
structure and also there are drivers hacking the pixmatPrivate member to 
workaround the problem of the root pixmap's data pointer being restored 
on enableFBAccess).

Shouldn't this be accompanied by a video driver major ABI bump, or are 
we collecting ABI breakages for those bumps?

Thanks,
Thomas
