Title:
  Mesa is broken by Mir structure size changes

Status in Mir:
  Invalid
Status in mesa package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  No mesa binary package has a link-time dependency on any Mir package,
  as platform-mir gets passed the necessary function pointers in the
  EGLNativeDisplay. This means we have no automated checks for ABI
  breaks.

  Worse, platform-mir is sensitive to the sizes of the Mir structures,
  as it stack-allocates a bunch of MirSurfaceParameters/MirBufferPackage
  structures rather than receiving pointers to them from the client.

  We need to clean this up.
