We have been waiting for a very long time. I am giving up on upstream
merging the commits. Let's vendor the patch. New debdiffs inbound. SRU
template ready.

** Description changed:

- Xorg crashed with assertion failure (usually in a VM):
+ [Impact]
  
- privates.h:121: dixGetPrivateAddr: Assertion `key->initialized' failed.
+ A very common crash in Xorg occurs when an application you are trying to 
launch
+ does not call DRI2ScreenInit() before calling DRI2Authenticate() or 
+ DRI2CreateDrawable2(). 
  
- WORKAROUND
+ This brings down the entire Xserver, and you lose all work.
  
- Select 'Ubuntu on Wayland' on the login screen.
+ This isn't just a single application, common ones are gstreamer1.0-vaapi
+ either invoked as gst-inspect-1.0 or through file manager thumbnailers,
+ Intel libva, and more.
+ 
+ The solution is to make DRI2Authenticate() and DRI2CreateDrawable2() more
+ robust to not having had DRI2ScreenInit() called, and to pass the error up
+ instead of just crashing on the assert.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  A very common crash in Xorg occurs when an application you are trying to 
launch
  does not call DRI2ScreenInit() before calling DRI2Authenticate() or 
  DRI2CreateDrawable2(). 

  This brings down the entire Xserver, and you lose all work.

  This isn't just a single application, common ones are gstreamer1.0-vaapi
  either invoked as gst-inspect-1.0 or through file manager thumbnailers,
  Intel libva, and more.

  The solution is to make DRI2Authenticate() and DRI2CreateDrawable2() more
  robust to not having had DRI2ScreenInit() called, and to pass the error up
  instead of just crashing on the assert.

  On plucky, you don't even need to run gst-inspect-1.0, just try log in, you 
will
  quickly find that xserver is broken and you aren't getting a X session today.

  Review the backtrace in /var/log/syslog.

  If you install a test package from the following ppa, the issue does
  not occur:

  https://launchpad.net/~mruffell/+archive/ubuntu/sf392117-test

  [Where problems could occur]

  We are adding some protection on the xserver side against user-space 
applications
  that incorrectly do not call DRI2ScreenInit() before attempting to construct
  a window.

  It would be best if all applications would call DRI2ScreenInit(), but if an
  applications don't, then we need to not crash the entire xserver.

  Regressions could occur in unintended behaviour for applications that can get
  away without calling DRI2ScreenInit(), but those applications will likely just
  continue working as usual. 

  If a regression were to occur, it would occur when launching applications in
  Xorg desktop environments.

  NOTE THIS IS NOT MERGED UPSTREAM, AND WILL BE VENDORED TO UBUNTU. See reasons
  below.

  The State of Upstream xserver
  -----------------------------

  Upstream xserver is on essential life-support maintenance at the moment.
  No one is interested in reviewing or merging the merge request, after repeated
  messages to the issue, merge quest, and development mailing list.

  If you review:

  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/1757

  Then it becomes clear there are many other open merge requests waiting for
  attention, and the only person who seems interested in these, Enrico Weigelt,
  comments and gives attention, but he cannot merge due to not being a 
maintainer,
  and the maintainers are being a little rude to him in that particular issue.

  In short, this patch would have a big impact on the stability of xserver users
  on Ubuntu, and we should just vendor this patch.
