Upstream does not currently advise using this driver. Upstream usually
is knowledgeable about this so we should hang on for some more time.
Unless, of course, some recent changes have been merged. Did you ask in
#radeon? If not, can you do that and inform us about the current state
of the driver and whether using gallium for r600 is recommended yet?
