Ok, I'm cross posting here because X.org is doing it wrong too. On R300,
for some reason I don't fully understand, it just goes back to the "old"
way of putting the FB at 0 (though it does properly use CONFIG_MEMSIZE
to set the size part of MC_FB_LOCATION), but for non R300, it does try
to put the framebuffer at the same address as the BAR ... and then tries
to use CONFIG_APER_SIZE for the size part of MC_FB_LOCATION, which is
incorrect.
The result is that on !r300, it won't crash since X.Org and DRI won't
create an overlapping mapping, but they won't be able to use all of VRAM
of some cards where CONFIG_APER_SIZE < CONFIG_MEM_SIZE, and on r300, it
will possibly create overlapping mappings and will cause all sorts of
troubles if you get the above case.
Another problem I haven't checked is that we should make sure, before
changing MC_FB_LOCATION, to actually disable scanning of memory by both
CRTCs (and possibly disable tiling, I had some problems in radeonfb due
to mac firmware enabling tiling, that would explode when playing with
MC_FB_LOCATION).
In the meantime, here's a patch against current Linus "git" that I'm
tempted to push asap so that at least 2.6.12 avoids the problem of
overlapping which causes random stuffs to happen with lockups. The
"issue" here is even if you don't have an r300-friendly DRM, it will
still try to initialize those things, even if it ultimately fails,
provided you have a new enough X.org, and thus will screw up the
mapping.
