I think it should be okay to just move the new fields to the end of the 
structures.

_rrProvider is calloc'd in RRProviderCreate.  It's immediately followed 
by the name of the provider, but RRProviderCreate stashes a pointer to 
the name in a field in the structure itself:

   provider->name = (char *) (provider + 1);

so as long as no one is trying to find the name by using (provider+1), 
that should be fine.

_rrScrPriv is calloc'd in RRScreenInit and stashed as a screen private 
using dixSetPrivate, so here again, adding to the end of the structure 
should be fine.

I can try to put together a patch and test it this week.  Is this an 
acceptable exception to the "only cherry-picks from master" policy for 
the stable branches?
