I think you mean:

xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/mga/mga_ucode.h
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/rendition/v10002d.uc
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/rendition/v20002d.uc
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/shared/drm/kernel/r128_cce.c
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/shared/drm/kernel/radeon_cp.c
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/shared/drm/kernel/mga_ucode.h

(global search and replace gone wrong?)

Agreed.  Thanks!
