Great, thanks.  I squashed the fixes into the original commits and
rebased 'media-updates' on current master.

Next problem: I tried updating my Thinkpad X60 (with Intel graphics) to
the media-updates branch, and now I'm seeing lots of rendering errors,
most consistently in the tab headers of GNU Icecat:

I guess the problem is in the git revision of xf86-video-intel that
you've chosen.  I think we'd better use the latest tarball release of
this driver instead.  Suggestions?
