Agree with those, and I'd suggest also:

commit d7ca870e1ce251d42e3689a8e1e7d080ab1325fb

    Fix crash with XV with large virtual display

    If a virtual display with width > 2048 is used, the first time
    an XV buffer is needed will result in a BadAlloc error message,
    but the next time X would crash.

and this one, not sure why Eric didn't recommend that, but I guess it
isn't as critical a fix, since it just the shutdown path:

commit e5e0fb846bda3e1757b89e50d5244d28457b9fe3

    Call down to lower CloseScreen before shutting down DRM allocator

    Lower level functions will destroy objects that are managed by the DRM
    allocator, so make sure those are done before the allocator shuts down.

thanks
