Well, to be pefectly honest, the only reason why I'm investigating is 
because I'd really like to have the famous r600_dri working, 7.8.2 have 
those so that's OK for me, but I was wondering what effort would it take 
to push it to 7.11.2.

100% agree on that.

Is it needed by Mesa 7.8 or only 8.0 ?

Agreed.
