You could always re-enable it before with the patch applied with the 
module option allow_r300=1.

I agree I would like to see it fixed properly too.  I hadn't realized 
that progress had been made recently, and I'd like to help if I can.  
My laptop unfortunately doesn't have a real serial port, and the 
kernel cannot use USB serial devices for consoles that I know of.

Ultimately, if there are still some r300 cards that experience 
problems with the DRI support, then I believe we should still allow it 
to be disabled, perhaps by defaulting DRI to on and inverting the 
module option, e.g. disallow_r300=1.
