-Subject: [PATCH] drm/radeon: Disable writeback by default on ppc
-
-At least on an IBM Power 720, this check passes, but several piglit
-tests will reliably trigger GPU resets due to the ring buffer pointers
-not being updated.  There's probably a better way to limit this to just
-affected machines though.
