Intel Sandy Bridge SNA - xf86-video-intel 2.20.2

Benchmarks of UXA vs. SNA 2D acceleration architectures for Intel xf86-video-intel DDX driver from Git on day of the 2.20.2 release. Also using the Linux 3.5 kernel and Git of Mesa master (8.1-devel) and librm. Intel 2D UXA/SNA benchmarking from an Intel Core i5 (Sandy Bridge) laptop. Benchmarking by Michael Larabel for a future article on Phoronix.com.
