So I've put these patches into Fedora rawhide kernel to test, and glxgears on my 945G hw went from 85fps to 380fps, clearly we would want these patches upstream sooner rather than later.
Or we at least need something in the i915 driver to get the speed under GEM back up.
I'm happy to ship these patches in F10 GA if that makes any difference, so I'd really like them upstream asap.
Dave.
