Eh... it seems like this will break compatibility with older versions of
Mesa.  I haven't dug around, but there used to be a hack in DRI2 where a
client would request a depth buffer and a stencil buffer, but it would
get the same packed depth-stencil buffer for both.  I guess that might
all be up in the DRI2 layer and not in the driver...

Mangled whitespace?  Probably mixed tabs and spaces...
