The 'case DRI2BufferStencil' modified in this hunk was added by me when implementing
separate stencil support. It was never used for this hack.

That hack is implemented by an alternate definition of I830DRI2CreateBuffer() which
is ifdef'd out when DRI2INFOREC_VERSION >= 2. FYI, the line that implements the hack can
be found by grepping xf86-video-intel:src/intel_dri.c for
    } else if (attachments[i] == DRI2BufferStencil && pDepthPixmap) {

Oops. Will fix.
