A GENERIC kernel should allow you to run an older userland without
issues. That said, you're right to keep a backup of your stable kernel.

I believe that the feature required to have multiple X sessions open
simultaneously is available in this DRM 3.8 branch. So far, only one
person tested and reported that he could run two X servers. Of course,
I'm not asking you to run -CURRENT permanently, but if you test this
branch, please report how it goes for you :)
