Oh my. I'm willing to bet this is another CP microcode issue; some cards
are known to ship with bad firmware (IIRC), or exist in such a state
that they're useless with microcode.

This is all a mixture of IIRC and AIUI, and I'll try to test .dfsg when
I get home (dialup sucks), but yeah. It looks like we've crippled
radeon_drv. :(
