With many thanks to Subv for porting over dependency tracking code over to our version of libdrm_nouveau and analyzing/fixing bugs in our EGL implementation; as well as to the nouveau developers for assisting with their knowledge of mesa/nouveau and helping port our changeset to the latest version of mesa.
