Actually Shaun is right: we have removed all these things. If we would 
just take OpenGL 1 on a current stack there are:
* no blacklists
* no functionality checks
* no fallbacks

All the whitelist/fallback handling is just to drop from OpenGL 2 to 
OpenGL 1 and even that is likely to go away once the Catalyst driver is 
fixed or for outdated drivers (e.g. Mesa < 7.10). Once llvmpipe is 
working decent enought (given that GNOME Shell already works, it should 
be very soon), we can even remove the last available fallbacks.

So yes we had that blacklist/whitelist/fallback stuff in place when the 
drivers did not catch up but over the last two/three years we removed 
most of it. In 4.9 we removed basically all the detection code we had, 
because we realized that we nowhere check for the results.
