Overall, with piglit+llvmpipe you're already reproducing the
regressions, and with git it's possible to develop in a branch until
all the regressions are gone and then merge your changes. So I think
we have a fairly reasonable setup to avoid regressions in mesa and the
overhead is pretty much zero.

Yup, that fixes it.
