Looks like we have a pretty nasty bug in radeon drm…

I chatted a bit with Dave Airlie on irc:

22:36 < jcristau> does anybody know what's up with 
                  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14535 ?
22:37 <@airlied> jcristau: wierd
22:38 <@airlied> my T42 seems fine, though I'm all kms
22:38 <@airlied> seems like we send a packet with offset 0 somewhere
22:38 < jcristau> bugs.debian.org/560126 looks like the same thing, too
[...]
22:43 < jcristau> airlied: anything i can tell people to debug this?
22:43 < jcristau> (i have no radeon hw)
22:43 <@airlied> looks like we have a kernel bug though it should catch that 
                 sort of craziness
22:43 <@airlied> but nothing I can think for a non-developer to help
[...]
22:53 <@airlied> jcristau: I'll add it to my TODO list, as much as I hate 
                 non-kms at this point ;-)

Cheers,
Julien
