Subject: [BUG] 3.17-rc1 radeon screen corruption and hang

On one of my machines, an Ivy Bridge desktop with a Radeon X550 (RV370)
graphics card, 3.17-rc1 causes random screen corruption with X running.
Eventually X stopped honoring mouse or keyboard clicks, and when I tried
to reboot it via an ssh login from another machine, it hanged hard.
3.16 and earlier kernels work perfectly.

After rebooting there was nothing interesting in /var/log/messages, but
Xorg.0.log.old showed the following:

(EE) [mi] EQ overflowing.  Additional events will be discarded until existing events are processed.
(EE) 
(EE) Backtrace:

(EE) 21: X (_start+0x29) [0x426a21]
(EE) 22: ? (?+0x29) [0x29]

This repeated a number of times, and the last entry was prefixed by:

(EE) [mi] EQ overflow continuing.  1000 events have been dropped.
(EE) [mi] No further overflow reports will be reported until the clog is cleared.

User-space is Fedora 19 / x86_64 with latest updates.  No non-Fedora X drivers.
