xf86-video-ati with patch-src-radeon_driver.c freeze the system

[Adam K Kirchhoff]

I have two amd64 workstations running -current, one with an HD4850 and 
one with an HD2600XT.  With or without that patch, both machines work 
fine with those GPUs.  If I swap those cards for either an x850 or an 
x1900, though, and they lockup immediately upon starting X if 
xf86-video-ati is built with that patch:

If I rebuild the driver without that patch, both machines work fine with 
either the x850 or the x1900.
