[ANNOUNCE] xf86-video-intel 2.2.0

Well, this is it, Intel driver release 2.2.0, available from all the usual
locations.  Thanks are owed to the many bug reporters, testers and developers
who contributed to this release.

Since the 2.1.0 release, over 160 bugs have been resolved.  That still leaves
96 open bugs (yay for breaking the 100 barrier), but at this rate the next
release should be bug free! :)  Moreover, I think many of the open bugs are
duplicates of bugs fixed in this release, or just need to be tested with this
release before being closed out, so things are looking good on the bug front.

Again, this driver should be run with the latest released versions of the
various components:
  - X server 1.4.x
  - Mesa 7.0.x
  - DRM modules from your respective kernel

Running with more recent versions should be possible, but you'll likely hit
bugs in the upstream trees due to active development going on there.

If you find problems with this release, don't hesitate to file them at
bugs.freedesktop.org.  There have been many changes since the last release, so
we undoubtedly added a few new bugs in the process.

The (large) git changelog for this release is shown below.

Thanks,
Jesse

      Replace setting of LIFETIME_FIXED on cursors with just updating the offsets.
