[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 00/10] mesa: support for EGL_ANDROID_native_fence_sync (vN+1)

[Chad Versace]

Hi Rob, just checking on the status on the patch set. Do you plan to
send a revised series or commit them as-is? I ask because my i965
patches depend on your patches 1-4, and I'm trying to decide to when to
resend them.
