Enabled mach64_dri in kernel, mesa? (fc7,rawhide)

Hello all,

According to [1] and [2], the latest mach64 mesa (6.5.x) driver is
considered secure.
Could it be possible to implant the mach64.* code into the kernel source
(from drm) and enable mach64_dri in the mesa spec?
(I can live with the missing mach64.ko kernel module; However, having to
rebuild mesa on a PII366 every time a new mesa package is released to
fc6-updates is a -huge- pain in the backside)

Thanks,
- Gilboa
