Indeed, I have just now tested XAA vs EXA on the Lemote Yeeloong[1] (siliconmotion).
In gtkperf, XAA is good 20% faster than EXA here.
With the removal of XAA, what do you guys suggest us to do?
"Staying on an old version of Xorg forever" doesn't count as a solution.
Thanks.

All of the software that runs on it - even the BIOS (the software that runs before your operating system loads) is open for anyone who would like to improve or replace it. All of the features of the hardware are usable without any binary blobs - binaries that make it impossible for the community to improve upon or make innovative use of hardware, such as wifi, as is the case with the vast majority of computers."
