We should fix that indeed. I found other problems with the "new"
atyfb from James tree (which is what is in 2.6.3-ben at the moment).
I fixed some (maybe not pushed yet) but it's unclear what's really
going on (the wait_for_idle calls I added shouldn't be necessary,
I lockup without them, and still had once lockup in console with them,
though I can't reproduce now).
It seems something dodgy is going on with the accel code that got added
to this driver in 2.6.
Ben.
