I already added comment in bug 8357 and truely first step is to
get rid of this 1440 magic offset in cliprect which should enable
to go full size for 3d ie 4096 which likely enough for most users.

In case you want to go above 4096 up to 8192 (which is hw limit
you can't work around) then you need to add heavy infrastructure
which should be generic for all drivers. But such things need
massive work in mesa,ddx,... and no work at all in r300 driver.
Of course you can also make modification only for r300 but i
believe this would be wrong solution and likely not accepted
upstream.
