None of the patches identified to be essential by Thierry do. The only
problematic patch left is 26_offscreen-pixmaps.diff, which breaks AIGLX
with EXA. If nobody fixes that, users of AIGLX with XAA will need Option
"XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps".

Actually, 23_aiglx-happy-vt-switch.diff fixes one of the major issues
with AIGLX, so with this applied I think we could leave it enabled by
default and see if we get any bug reports that would require disabling
it.
