because in my opinion this is a tweak to fix a buggy 3rd party product.
i would prefer to not expose this in the patches.
it might break your patch once the 3rd party product is fixed.
(even though in this special case it might as well not)

apart from that, your code doesn't work with dynamic patching.

finally: even if there are "other ways" to fix it, you can still use
your method.

and last: i'd rather have the rectangle mode enabled by default if the
card/driver reports to support it; if it doesn't it is NO problem of Gem
at all: file a bug report at ATI.
(i guess it is just that from a social point of view things might be
more likely to be "fixed" in Gem then in the driver)
