[Intel-gfx] [ANNOUNCE] xf86-video-intel 2.14.903

[Chris Wilson]

So I tried and failed to fix a performance regression, but on the plus
side we did squash a couple more bugs.

Snapshot 2.14.903 (2011-04-11)
==============================
This is the third release candidate in preparation for the upcoming
2.15.0 release. We will appreciate any feedback we can get from
testing of this snapshot.

There was a bit of churn since 2.14.902 as a potential fix for a
performance regression was tried but had to reverted when it was found to
cause glitches running Compiz on SandyBridge. Otherwise, there were just a
couple of fixes for building against old xservers and running on an
obscure chipset.

Bugs fixed in this snapshot (compared to 2.14.902)
--------------------------------------------------

* Prevent issuing an invalid scanline wait command
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35576

* The 946GZ in not a 945, but a 965.
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35854

* Fix tile sizes for gen2 (finally).

* Allow building of recent dri2 changes against old xservers.


Chris Wilson (16):
      Add a DRI2SwapEventPtr typedef for retro xservers
      946GZ is a 965G!
      MI_LOAD_SCAN_LINES_INCL are inclusive and range [0, display height-1]
      i965: Convert to relative relocations for state
      i965: segregate each vertex element into its own buffer
      Remove the unnecessary MI_FLUSH from the flush handler
      Remove unused function 'intel_bo_alloc_for_data'
      Take advantage of the kernel flush for dirty bo in the busy ioctl
      i965: Always update last_floats_per_vertex
      i965: Reset vertex_id after every batch
      i965: Refactor to use constant sampler_state offsets
      i965: Avoid transform overheads for vertex emit where possible
      gen6: Invalidate texture cache
      Revert "i965: Convert to relative relocations for state"
      intel: Restore manual flush for old kernels
      NEWS: version bump for 2.14.903 snapshot

Daniel Vetter (2):
      Cleanup gen2 tiling confusion
