Before now we never had this error in here, and its showing up a real
problem with your card, reading the r300 register doesn't matter at
all,
as things have already gone wrong by the time you hit this debug.

The question is if you add the 3 lines into radeon_cp.c at the same
place in -rc4 without the other patches does it still happen..
       DRM_INFO("wait for fifo failed status : 0x%08X 0x%08X\n",
                RADEON_READ(RADEON_RBBM_STATUS),
                RADEON_READ(R300_VAP_CNTL_STATUS));

If so I'll just make DRM_INFO into DRM_DEBUG for now and we can work
it out later.

Dave.
