Something is (very) wrong with one(?) of these patches.

After upgrading from 2.6.28 to 2.6.29-rc1 I lost direct rendering.
Each time I tried to start a program that uses DRM I get this in the
syslog and the programm falls back to mesa software rendering:

Otherwise 2.6.29-rc1 worked for me. Even booting with 'fastboot' did
not result in any problems, but it did cut the in-kernel-time down
from ~12 sec to ~6 sec.

Hoping to fix this memtype problem I applied the patch from the pull
request to 29-rc1 and rebooted. Now the system completely locks up
when X is trying to start.
Via serial console I got this Oops:

Userspace is xorg-server-1.5.3 with mesa-7.3_rc1 and xf86-video-ati-6.9.0.
With 2.6.28 this combination works for accelerated direct rendering.
PAT was enabled on 2.6.28 and both vanilla 2.6.29-rc1 and the patched -rc1.

Just ask, if you need more information, or if you have a patch to try.
