I'd like to finish MSAA support for more R600 chipsets for Mesa 9.0
(we only support Evergreen at the moment), but I will need a couple
more days. Could we please postpone making the 9.0 branch until 8/27?
If not, I'd like to cherry-pick my not-yet-published MSAA work to the
9.0 branch once it's working.
