And it would cleanly resolve bugs 38480 and 39563.
Correction: Substituting suffixed function pointers for unsuffixed ones should fix bug 39563, but it would not fix 38480. Since bug 39563 probably doesn't affect the proprietary driver and there is an easy workaround for the open source driver, it's probably not worthwhile to pursue this solution.
So, unless more compelling evidence is presented, I'm with Henri: I'd prefer to refocus our efforts on improving the Nouveau driver's performance or petitioning Nvidia to finish implementing the extensions that they partially support. Just reverting the patch is not a palatable solution.
