patch to fix drm_pci_alloc() so that subsequent drm_pci_free() works
Seems that the problem is that the drm_pci_alloc() implementation for Linux
forgot to set the dmah->size field in the new drm_dma_handle_t structure.
Because of this, subsequent drm_pci_free() passed bogus size to
pci_free_consistent(), which was leading to lots of "Bad page state" messages,
and subsequently to massive memory corruption resulting in a hang.
Most drivers do not use drm_pci_alloc() and drm_pci_free(), therefore they were
not hit by this problem. Of course, the DRM core for Linux uses
drm_pci_free(), but it does not pass the drm_dma_handle_t structure from
drm_pci_alloc() to it - instead it fills that structure directly, setting
->size correctly and thus avoiding the bug.
This patch should fix the problem; unfortunately, I cannot get it tested on the
problematic hardware until Monday.
