xorg-edgers's bdb396a4 build should have it. So just asking if anyone
was brave enough to test it yet :)

I went from 2 fps to 40 fps on the fishtank test.
Working fast and smooth here as well on 965G (GMA X3000) since
yesterday. And on an Atom N470 laptop (GMA 3150) which also really
needed it. Suspend and resume among else seem to work fine. Intel
finally and suddenly now raises from the mediocre graphics performance
area regarding normal tasks! Of course this was known for a long time
that there is unused performance reserve, but still... it's surprising
when something suddenly changes.

I'm just glad older chipsets aren't forgotten on Linux. It's not just
for continual improvement or proprietary parity, it's a passion to push
the hardware to its limits. Intel just stops updating drivers them for
Windows and Mac after a certain point.
With gallium-915/965 on the horizon, there's no endgame in sight for the
i9xx series. Maybe in a few years there will be a silent funeral through
a retirement to fbdev like the i8xxx.
