Did the bisect today. Here's what I got:

297fd0d0755bda698be1d0b30cc60a41d7673c0b is the first bad commit
commit 297fd0d0755bda698be1d0b30cc60a41d7673c0b
Author: Dave Airlie <airlied at redhat.com>
Date:   Tue Oct 16 16:15:16 2012 +1000

     nouveau/dri2: fix pixmap/window offset calcs.

     This should fix prime rendering under kwin, and not break it under the
     others.
