The original i965, including the revised G35 and Q35, requires an alignment of 128K for the display surface with linear memory, so increase the requirement from 64k for these chipsets. For the later chipsets in the i965 family, only a 4k alignment is required. (So long as we do not start performing asynchronous flips.) Note the impact of this should be slight as on i965 we should be using a tiled frontbuffer for anything up to a 4096x4096 display. v2: compilation fixes and note that the docs do not exclude the G35 from the extra alignment.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
