It's as simple as "don't add it if you don't need it".

If another driver needs the driver interface to implement
glMemoryBarrierByRegion, then it should be added. As it stands now, I
don't see that i965 needs it.

Non-sequitur. There are plenty of functions in the GL API that don't
have entries in the dd function table.
