xf86-video-intel 2.20.18+ suffers from poor performance without libdrm
2.4.41+

cf. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59639

Perhaps this should be documented in pacman sync output if this issue
does not warrant a new libgl package update.
This task depends upon

What is the issue here? We have the fixed version in the repos already.

If you update xf86-video-intel from 2.20.17 to 2.20.18 or 2.20.19
without updating libdrm to 2.4.41, the rendering performance is very
poor.

The issue is that both packages should update together, but they do not.
My suggestion is just to add a note about this indirect dependency in
pacman -S output.

EDIT:

Okay, understood.
