Several people have asked me to let them know about replies.  I only had one
which contained information, and it says that the segment driver allows the
context of the cg6 to be preserved so that multiple applications can use it,
e.g. XNeWS and maybe SunCore.
Opinion seems to confirm that the patches don't affect performance.
