Is there a way to disable radeon virtual addressing when loading the kernel?
You can disable it in mesa. Just set ws->info.r600_virtual_address to FALSE in do_winsys_init() in radeon_drm_winsys.c.
Thanks, as expected this also cures the garbled fonts in blender.

We can add a mesa option if we aren't able to get this fixed in time for the next mesa release, but for now I'd prefer to leave it enabled otherwise most users will just disable it and not test the current code which won't help in getting it fixed.
We're already 2 users affected and very willing to test and help ;-) What information could we provide to further improve the situation?
