This might not actually be due to ABI breakage, but mostly exposing an
xf86-video-intel bug.  When running a server without these changes, and
xf86-video-intel hacked to disable dri2 on kms, the server crashes in
libdrm_intel::drm_intel_gem_bo_alloc_internal(), i.e. the same thing
that happens with the updated server, where DRI2ScreenInit() bails out.

I haven't tried driver 2.7.1 or UMS.

Hope this helps,
