Yes, looks much better, but the code shouldn't touch any relevant
(radeonsi/r600g) code paths. - Michel?

On r600g (RV730 AGP) I do NOT see any (real) change with this revert...
Maybe we do not hit the real BAD commit.

Alex's drm-next-3.19-wip (it shows 3.17-rc5 ;-) for example:
git clone git://people.freedesktop.org/~agd5f/linux/ drm-next-3.19-wip

If you have it already, get it or change it to another tree:
cd drm-next-3.19-wip
git checkout -b drm-next-3.19-wip remotes/origin/drm-next-3.19-wip

Sometimes you need this:
git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/drm-next-3.19-wip
