I think Xorg ended up eating ~13% CPU  after I quit most programs, but it 
was definitely better than much higher CPU usage before your patches.

I saw no additional debug messages in X log, so probably you covered 
my specific case well.

qemu was eating CPU in  nouveau_dri.so/libdrm_nouveau.so.2.0.0,
so I suspected something like 'too many error reports from vblanks' 
may happen there, too.

Unfortunately, my standard build command for mesa included --strip,
so opreport -c was not giving any additional details ...

I just recompiled DDX again with if 0'ed debug message, will see how 
it works alone, and then retry mesa build/qemu long-uptime testing ...
