Ok, many thanks for your answer. I would very much appreciate it though
if you could merge the following patch upstream:

http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/libva/patches/031_g45_older_libdrm.patch

This patch is essential to build the i965 driver on RHEL6 (and all it's
clones, like Scientific Linux 6, Centos, etc..) and since RHEL6 is a
long term support distro this problem will be around for a long time.
RHEL6 ships with libdrm 2.4.20.

I fear if the patch isn't merged upstream now then soon it will fail to
apply due to changes upstream.

Also what about this patch of yours: 041_g45_internals.patch
Shouldn't this one be applied upstream too?

Thanks again for your help.
