I chatted with Jamey for a while to get a good understanding of this
patch.  The result of that discussion ("such an implementation"
referring to the handling of partial writes):

Josh Triplett: So, in theory, _xcb_out_send returned some of the information necessary to do such an implementation, except that it guaranteed a full write so it would never actually return anything interesting about partial writes?
Josh Triplett: And thus you removed the out parameter in favor of that guarantee?
Jamey Sharp: I think if we wanted an implementation like that we'd have thrown out _xcb_out_send entirely. I think it was just leaking implementation details of _xcb_conn_wait out through an abstraction layer.

So, now that I understand this patch more clearly:
