The map-texture-image-v4 branch that I just pushed implements
this change. It really cleaned things up for the better and
will lead to a few more follow-on improvements.
There's no obvious regressions with swrast or the gallium
drivers. I updated the intel driver code and tested i915 and
it seems OK too, but I didn't do a full piglit run on it. I
also updated the legacy r600 driver in case anyone cares but
didn't do any testing of it.
I didn't update any of the other legacy DRI drivers. Would
anyone object if we simply stop building mach64, r128,
unichrome, sis, etc? I'd be happy to remove those drivers
altogether for that matter.
we could EOL those in 7.11, and if anyone wants to ship them,
they can just build 7.11 for them.
Sounds good to me. I think we'd only keep the swrast, intel
and maybe r300/r600 drivers. Opinions?
Um, don't kill nouveau_vieux, please.
Does the old nouveau driver support some GPUs that the gallium
nv50/nvc0 drivers don't support?
Yes. Like Corbin said, 'nouveau_vieux' is for NV04-NV2x, while
the gallium driver 'nouveau' supports NV30 and later.

If we want to keep the older driver someone will need to
volunteer to update the code to support the new driver hooks.
Sorry, I cannot promise that.
Nouveau_vieux seems to have been missing a maintainer for
some time now.
Any of the older DRI drivers that get dropped could easily be revived
later if someone wants to do the work.
