Yet Another Intel 2.20.x Graphics Driver Release

Chris Wilson has released yet another driver update in the xf86-video-intel 2.20 series.

This latest update though isn't just centered around Chris pushing out more SNA acceleration architecture updates, but it just has a couple of fixes.

In particular, with binding the DDX driver to a proper Intel kernel driver, which was a change from the previous release, it was accidentally binding this X.Org driver to Intel Poulsbo, Medfield, and Cedarview graphics cores too. That's a problem since this open-source driver doesn't work with those graphics cores that are derived from Imagination PowerVR SGX IP and use a completely different driver code-base. This binding issue to the PowerVR cruft has been fixed and so that warranted pushing out this latest point release.

There's also a regression fix for bitmap-to-region code and over four dozen other "Sandy Bridge New Acceleration" 2D acceleration code changes from Chris that he's made in the last couple of days.
