Release 2.21.14 (2013-08-04)
============================
A few updates for the top-end Haswell systems (notably GT3 and GT3e
systems), in particular, setting the appropriate thread counts for the
larger GPU and handling a few scaling issues with the emedded DRAM. More
important than the performance tuning though is a fix for a critical
issue encountered by a few people on gen4/gen5 systems.

 * Initial performance tuning for HSW:GT3e

 * Fix a crash with Planetary Annihilation

 * Disable triple buffering for compositors

 * Reserve space in the exec buffer array for deferred VBOs.
