The patch that was cherry-picked for Bug #507148 " [lucid] desktop runs out of video memory on ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 " , needs to be reverted.

The upstream patch that was cherry-picked from https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26302 , was updated and merged in kernel .36 , which does not seem to cause this problem.

The fix that was merged in kernel .36 is commit e376573f7267390f4e1bdc552564b6fb913bce76 ('drm/radeon: fallback to GTT if bo creation/validation in VRAM fails.'), and commit 2b66b50b12cabc05f05543e792d4c9c2465d5702 ('drm/radeon/kms: Fix retrying ttm_bo_init() after it failed once.') fixes up a problem of the fix in the BO creation path.
