The comment is slightly misleading, as you are performing a replacement
of
  irb->region = intel_region_alloc();
with
  struct intel_region *region = intel_region_alloc();
  intel_region_reference(&irb->region, region);

I'm curious, what's the advantage? i.e. what am I not understanding that 
needs to be explained in the changelog?
