Many Linux users have cited Wayland's forced vsync as a blocker for gaming related scenarios. This patch adds tearing support into Xwayland!

Some people are more sensitive to input latency and frame stutter than others. Personally I think they're very important things to optimize for and make a big difference for how games feel and play on a platform.
Oh yes, always good to have them improve it more and more. :)
