It's not too surprising that only Cairo is using it.  IIRC, Eric
specifically made this extension for Cairo, and it was a pretty big perf
win at the time.

I had wanted to test this patch, but... does LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=y
just not work any more?  With the distro Mesa I get:

name of display: :0
X Error of failed request:  GLXBadContext
  Major opcode of failed request:  151 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  6 (X_GLXIsDirect)
  Serial number of failed request:  37
  Current serial number in output stream:  36

And with fairly recent master I get direct rendering.
