I though it takes more time, but i already finished bisecting :)

The result:

59bc1d89d6a4d67c94a9b70fa81bda1d5b04f0cb is the first bad commit

    drm/radeon: Inline r100_mm_rreg, -wreg, v3

    This was originally un-inlined by Andi Kleen in 2011 citing size concerns.
    Indeed, a first attempt at inlining it grew radeon.ko by 7%.

    However, 2% of cpu is spent in this function. Simply inlining it gave 1%
more fps
    in Urban Terror.

    v2: We know the minimum MMIO size. Adding it to the if allows the compiler
to
    optimize the branch out, improving both performance and size.

    The v2 patch decreases radeon.ko size by 2%. I didn't re-benchmark, but
common sense
    says perf is now more than 1% better.

    v3: Also change _wreg, make the threshold a define.

    Inlining _wreg increased the size a bit compared to v2, so now radeon.ko
    is only 1% smaller.
