Can cause instabilities or even failures, and doesn't provide too much
benefit in my experience.

This one doesn't do much for the radeon driver currently, but might
become important when we start using the AGP memory manager, like the
r200 driver already does. (Increase the default to 16?)

You shouldn't have to change the defaults for these (though we might
want to increase the default for the latter to try and avoid
intermittent radeon_freelist_get failures?). In particular, the ring is
plenty big by default I think.

This one's gone, plus it had a comment about being slow in the source...
(which is probably why it was an option in the first place)

This one is only an option until all the issues around it are resolved.

This one is an option because it causes failures on some systems.

Most are.


As you see, most options are options because the defaults should be fine
and/or they might cause problems.
