Problem here is kernel part of radeon driver which tries to allocate more than one continues memory page which gets very hard under memory presure. So fix should go to kernel that it allocates only single non-continues memory pages.

Possible work arounds for users are:

1. Free all possible memory so kernel has enough continues free pages for radeon driver.

2. Downgrade kernel to 2.6.29(?). I'm not exactly sure if that was the last version which used old kernel driver without this bug.
