unable to have a working radeon kms framebuffer with linux-3.3-rc2 on ppc video card: Radeon 9250 PCI
Is this a regression? If yes, can you bisect?
not a regression, i didn't find a working kernel release

Again looks like the problem occurs when first accessing VRAM, in this case for clearing the visible framebuffer contents.
I wonder if we're missing something to handle device memory access properly on your machine(s)... Is ioremap_wc() working on them with other drivers?
i got a kernel panic also with the legacy radeon framebuffer
