Well, "patch" is too formal for the ugly hack I use :)
After building your new kernel you should patch one kernel header file
before building ati-drivers (taken from lkml):

Here's the ugly part: some names in compat.h were changed recently, and
I can't be bothered to do a proper fix, so I hacked this together instead:

NOTE: my new machine has 4 cpus, numbered 0 through 3, and I hardcoded that
number into the ati code, above, instead of deciphering the new kernel headers.
Ugly, ugly, ugly. But it works perfectly :)
If you have two cpus you should change the p<4 to p<2, etc. And then wait
for a professional fix from ati :p
