For any other driver than r300 this is done, I don't want to do this for
r300 as it is an experimental driver, and having a lot of backwarrds
compat in the Mesa driver during development is only going to make it look
uglier for no real gain..

I guess it was my kcmdbuf changes that broke radeon on FreeBSD, they
shouldn't be that hard to fixup..
