-   - Removed ctx->Driver.SetDrawBuffer
-   - Added ctx->Driver.DrawBuffer and ctx->Driver.ReadBuffer.  These functions
-     exactly correspond to glDrawBuffer and glReadBuffer calls.
+   - Removed ctx->Driver.SetDrawBuffer()
+   - Removed swrast->Driver.SetReadBuffer().
+   - Added ctx->Color._DrawDestMask - a bitmask of FRONT/BACK_LEFT/RIGHT_BIT
+     values to indicate the current draw buffers.
+   - Added ctx->Pixel._ReadSrcMask to indicate the source for pixel reading.
+     The value is _one_ of the FRONT/BACK_LEFT/RIGHT_BIT values.

      Many drivers will set ctx->Driver.DrawBuffer = _swrast_DrawBuffer and
      leave ctx->Draw.ReadBuffer NULL.
      DRI drivers should implement their own function for ctx->Driver.DrawBuffer
      and use it to set the current hardware drawing buffer.  You'll probably
      also want to check for GL_FRONT_AND_BACK mode and fall back to software.
      Call _swrast_DrawBuffer() too, to update the swrast state.
