In 2.6.17 sparc64 kernels, X11 runs _extremely_ slowly with
frequent lock-up like behaviour on my Ultra5 (ATI Mach64).

I finally managed to trace the cause to this change in 2.6.16-git6:

  -  Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@it.uu.se>

Confirmed to fix ATi@U5 and Creator@U30.

  - Rene Rebe <rene@exactcode.de>
