Ok, I've tested the patch from Comment #85 for the better part of a week now,
and I haven't experienced a single freeze yet. VRAM is still placed directly
after GTT:
---8<---------
Oct 29 08:47:38 localhost kernel: radeon 0000:01:00.0: GTT: 256M 0xD0000000 -
0xDFFFFFFF
Oct 29 08:47:38 localhost kernel: radeon 0000:01:00.0: VRAM: 128M 0xE0000000 -
0xE7FFFFFF (64M used)
Oct 29 08:47:38 localhost kernel: [drm] Detected VRAM RAM=128M, BAR=128M
Oct 29 08:47:38 localhost kernel: [drm] radeon: 64M of VRAM memory ready
Oct 29 08:47:38 localhost kernel: [drm] radeon: 256M of GTT memory ready.
Oct 29 08:47:38 localhost kernel: [drm] vram apper at 0xE0000000
Oct 29 10:42:30 localhost kernel: radeon 0000:01:00.0: GTT: 256M 0xD0000000 -
0xDFFFFFFF
--->8---------
And the VRAM sizes are still a bit confusing (it's listed as 128M with 64M
'used'?)

So I can confirm that this patch indeed fixes the issue. Job well done!
