I'd prefer to see sbc stay with its current name, since that's its name
in the specs we're trying to implement (GLX_OML_sync_control,
GLX_INTEL_swap_event).  If you drop the rename from the patch,

I think our handling of SBC for glXWaitForSbcOML() is wrong.  From the
OML_sync_control spec:

    The SBC value is incremented by the graphics driver at the completion
    of each buffer swap (e.g., the pixel copy has been completed or the
    hardware register that swaps memory banks has been written). For pixel
    formats that do not contain a back buffer, the SBC will always be
    returned as 0.

I read that as "SBC is incremented when the PresentComplete comes in"
not "SBC is incremented when we generate the Present request".
Otherwise glXWaitForSbcOML doesn't make much sense. (in the "e.g." I'm
assuming they're talking a hardware register for pageflipping that
immediately starts scanning out the new stuff, not our fancy new
automatically double buffered ones that you have to push hard on to get
an immediate pageflip mode)
