I have a 610 series and this (well this + the updated patch ... replying
to the original message here) is working for me.   I don't think I can
put 100% of the credit on this patch, but I did update -current two days
ago (r218708) and for the first time in a long long time I can:

- - exit Xorg to the console
- - unload radeon.ko/drm.ko
- - start Xorg again

and not have the OS/machine hardlock requiring a powercycle.

I still get ocassional screen corruption when scrolling, but usually
only when the linux-flash plugin is embeded in a page.
