Great, thanks for testing. I've submitted the first two patches for
inclusion.
I'm still pondering if the third patch is the right thing to do or even
necessary. Maybe we should instead fix the X radeon driver to deal more
gracefully with page flips completing earlier than expected. E.g. weston
doesn't seem to have any trouble with that.

These fixes should go in before the 3.16 release, yes. And I don't see
why they wouldn't.
