I've put a new patch up at:
http://people.freedesktop.org/~anholt/radeon-exa-11.diff

It has a lot of cleanups, a manpage entry for AccelMethod, and DRI is
fixed (at least a bit).  The auto-disable of color tiling for EXA might
be removable now, though I haven't tested.  XV appears to be broken
(despite a few fixes) for both XAA and EXA, which is a priority to get
fixed.  I'm having issues with bad 2d rendering in applications as
simple as xterm (text not appearing completely using core fonts, even
with the composite hook not getting involved).  But the r200 composite
bits appear to be at least trivially working pretty well :)
