The only issue is that the hard lock actually has something to do with a closed source package (i.e. fglrx has an issue with the mtrr table, but the mtrr table is actually handled by the BIOS and kernel - then this problem lies with our ability to get information out of the fglrx binary driver).

That could be a fix. However it appears to be in regards to x86 (IA32) - although, this fix might work for 64 bit architectures. Further, its a little troubling that the last comments on this bug are from 2005-05 (I would expect that this code would have been rolled into the xserver code base).
