This patch fixes an EXA corruption bug, which affects the radeon[hd] drivers (and possibly others).

My guess is this will likely get included in xserver-1.7.3, but that's a couple weeks out and this bug makes applications with lots of scrolling painful to use.

Reproducible: Always

Asked upstream and they backported it.

Thx for bug, closing as upstrem since it will be in 1.7.3
