This feature is required by Mesa 9.2+. Without this, a GL application
crashes with the following message:
# glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
Gen6+ requires Kernel 3.6 or later.
Assertion failed: (ctx->Version > 0), function handle_first_current,
file ../../src/mesa/main/context.c, line 1498.
Abort (core dumped)
Now, Mesa 10.2.4 and 10.3-rc3 works fine:
# glxinfo
name of display: :0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
...
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 965GM
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 10.2.4
...
The code was imported from Linux 3.8.13.
