Status update:

I've seen there are a bunch of BO fixes included in the 2.6.3 version of the driver, however that version has new dependencies. I've done the merge of the 2.6.3 -intel, however it won't build until the dependencies are satisfied. I've packaged and uploaded libdrm 2.4.5 that it requires, and this is included in Alpha6. It also requires a small kernel change, which I've spoken to the kernel team about but that won't go in until after Alpha6 at the earliest.

Also, the vast bulk of the 2.6.3 changes are for features we do not enable by default yet, so I'm not certain if the benefit is going to outweigh the risk. We'll want to make sure ample testing is done on it before we make the decision.
