The problem is more systemic than this. Since DRI2InvalidateDrawable is
not exported to the drivers, nor any of the components required to
implement the routine, the driver cannot change a backing bo for a
pixmap once it already has been exported to one client.

So I think the general solution here is to export the invalidation to
the driver so that it can perform it as necessary whenever the backing
bo changes.
