Bug#494009: No loss without microcode

[Alexandre Oliva <lxoliva@fsfla.org>]

I thought I'd point out that the cleaned-up drivers available in
linux-libre work just fine on my home server that has an ATI video
card.  I don't know whether its absence causes any functionality
degradation (my video card requirements are pretty low), but it
certainly doesn't affect stability.  It might be the case that my
particular video card doesn't require the microcode at all, but it
shouldn't be assumed that removing any of this firmware will cause any
loss to every user of this driver.
