Note that problem is only with *Shm*Pixmap*. *Shm*Image* is fine. So
--without-xshm will disable too much.

AFAIR, with really modern nvidia drivers (>=180.x), Xserver should report
'ShmPixmap unsupported' in XShmQueryVersion (see driver's README about 'Option
"AllowSHMPixmaps"'; check `xdpyinfo -ext MIT-SHM` to be sure); so new ShmPixmap
code should be already no-op on nvidia and not cause pessimization ;-) [not sure
about Intel and others; so, maybe, adding wine option still make sense].
