huh.  did you find why this was removed?  i don't see them
added anywhere instead.. and all those chipsets AFAIK, still
want to use radeonsi driver -- weird.

with either new or old xsrc Mesa i still have problems.  with
old, it eventually crashes inside glamoregl portion of the
X server.. with new it hangs, and fails reset, leaving with
a weird broken palette window etc.
