Systems that have dual AMD graphics (APU + dedicated GPU) and use the radeon
open source drivers become unusable with kernel 3.15-rc and after, freezing
every few seconds.

I talked to a radeon dev (Alex Deucher, agd5f at #radeon in irc.freenode.net)
about this problem, and, If I understood correctly, he said it's a problem with
PCIEHP. There is a patch to fix this, but it's for another module, ACPIPHP...
for some reason, PCIEHP is loading (instead of ACPIPHP? not sure) in kernels
3.15+, and this module has not been patched.

This is the patch:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f244d8b623dae7a7bc695b0336f67729b95a9736

A workaround is to add "radeon.runpm=0" to the kernel command line.
