The last change on 167 says that KMS is disabled on these chipsets. You
seem to be saying it is actually enabled by default?
As Kevin says, the changelog isn't well ordered - note the
date/email/revision line, that's the changes in -164. The changelog
shows 164, 165, 166, 167, 163. I wonder if this will ever get fixed :)
