First thanks for taking the time to identify the faulty commit. I also
want to thank Julien and Cyril for pushing in the right direction while
I was too busy to read those mails.

I think it worth trying that as upstream also reverted it later see:
  http://svn.openchrome.org/trac/changeset/854/trunk/src/via_dri.c

If it works, I think we have our fix ;)

I'll then prepare a new package (unless Cyril or Julien want to do this
simple change directly as I'll need a sponsor anyway).

Best Regards
