Seems like DRI/mesa should just use malloc/free for objects which aren't 
related to the X server internals.  I've given up building custom 
allocators these days; the libc ones are almost always better designed for 
'unusual' events (cf the XFree86 4.0 custom allocator which produced some 
spectactular results for large region computations).
