I don't think it'd be necessary to add a new RM for this. Deferred  
itself is pretty
generic so it should be sufficient to add support for the required  
extensions and
add a new shaderset based off the deferred sets that is able to handle alpha
objects in a deferred manner (and remove the according priorities from  
the forward
shading list). Note that alpha objects already have to be defined  
using according
priorities to work with deferred, so there wouldn't be any new  
requirements for that.
