It is quite easy to add some basic support for it (I would not use the free video memory code yet) but I'm not sure if we want to support this yet since the extension is experimental. If it is fine by Henri, I can add it as it would help a lot of users.
Negative on using experimental extensions I'm afraid. Writing a proof of concept patch is ok, of course, and I'd be willing to review that, but it can't go in until the extension is finalized. Note that this wouldn't allow you to get rid of the current code though, you still need a fallback. It would just allow for more accurate reporting on cards that do support that extension.
