Because of work, I was going to wait until Friday to check this... but I found
some time last night to give it a try.

With my custom 3.7.4 kernel (+ post 3.7 Radeon-related commits up to Jan. 21) I
built Mesa at commit 6532eb17 ... and that leaked memory as described before.

I then built Mesa at one commit earlier (24b1206a), and the memory leak was
gone.

That's not the sort of help I hoped to provide....

With up-to-date kernel and up-to-date Mesa (commit 02b6da1e of Jan. 29), using
R600_HYPERZ=0 _does_ eliminate the memory leak.

Of course, I am hoping to be _able_ to use the Hyper Z functionality, so I have
to admit disappointment about having to use that workaround; but at least it
allows me to use the rest of the DRI and Mesa changes since Dec. 19.

Needless to say, I'm definitely willing to test further changes in the DRI
and/or Mesa!
