Radeon HD4850 DRI Issues

[Greg Rowe]

Thanks Robert, 
 My system is available for any testing you may need as you work on a fix. I
can wipe it and get to any software level you need.

> kernel or via userland requesting them to be added.  Each map has an
> offset associated with it for mmap.  Mostly the offsets are all kernel
> virtual addresses, but a few (register and framebuffer maps) are
> physical addresses.  On i386, when we allocate scatter gather memory for
> the GART aperture (32Mb on radeon) it is being allocated at the end of
> the kva space.  I have gone back and looked at all of the reports of
> this that I have and the framebuffer is always at 0xe0000000.  When the
> kva returned by bus_dma overlaps with the physical address of the
> framebuffer, we match the incorrect map when mmap is called and
> therefore we are actually mapping the ring buffer inside of the
> framebuffer, rather that out of the scatter gather memory where it
> belongs.
