[Mesa-maintainers] Downstream patches and package recipes

[Pedretti Fabio]

I can see an issue with swrast and i915, both have classic and gallium
versions. They can be both built fine, but they get installed in the same
dri directory and one (apparently the gallium one) overwrite the other.
There should be a way to be able to build and install both without special
tricks and have a way the use can select one or the other.
