When I use solo on ia64, it sometimes causes an MCA upon startup. That's
because a memset is done on the framebuffer memory during init.
Please refer to this message from Jesse Barnes to know why this is bad :

Here is a patch that fixes this by changing the memset into a for() loop
doing memory access one byte at a time :

Is it just radeon that suffers from this problem? How about r128 or the other
drivers? (I don't have the tree in front of me just now or I'd do a quick
audit.)
Yes, other drivers suffer from that too (at least r128, i810 and mga as
far as I can see). However, as I said previously I don't understand them
enough to touch them.
