I am able to build xorg-xserver w/ --enable-dri --enable-glx and 
without mesa3d. Instead of mesa3d, I built opengl-registry and a libGL
provider (I used gpu-viv-bin-mx6q, but it should also work with 
nvidia-driver).

In add, I need to manually add gl.pc, dri.pc and GL/internal/dri_interface.h
(picked from mesa3d)

I will try to generate a cleaner patch in order to begin a discussion 
about this issue.

However, I think this work is an improvement of dri/glx support and is
not really related to "Xorg support for iMX6" series.
