Starting from scratch:

 $ git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel.git
 $ cd xf86-video-intel
 $ git checkout 2.11.901
 $ git revert f74b3f82

Build and install as usual.

Give-or-take that it is dubious that we can do a simple coverage based
accumulation of subpixels trapezoids within the specification of
PolyModeImprecise, benchmarking shows a small performance win for most
cairo traces [the improvements matching the elimination of 
pixman_image_rasterize_trapezoid() and co], but in a few cases it can be
twice as slow. So I think it is back to a span renderer -- even if I just
trade GPU time for CPU time, that should be a win for application
performance.
