Eric had some half-finished patches for this which I finished and pushed (see below).

With these patches applied, the latest driver from git now runs just fine on the non-GEM Debian kernel (2.6.26-2-686). I'd be very interested if other people that have experienced the bugs reported here could try using the latest driver and report back whether the bug is fixed.

I'll also consider cherry-picking the relevant commits here to the 2.7 branch for an upcoming 2.7.2 release.
