TL;DR: How to get some canonical work-around for quirks into official
module and/or kernel repo ? Running with gpu passed through to virtual
machine.

I'm running this card:
00:06.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
[AMD/ATI] Curacao PRO [Radeon R7 370 / R9 270/370 OEM] (prog-if 00 [VGA
controller])
passed through to a user domain under Xen. (xen-4.11 release candidate ).
I have been running with this patch for a long while now:

This gets me the following logged on boot:
mai 17 23:27:35 gt kernel: [drm] invalid dev->pdev->bus->self
I created the patch on a hunch without any knowledge of how that
return-value gets interpreted. At the moment I'm using the radeon driver
in kernel 4.16.9-gentoo, but I'm thinking about switching to amdgpu.
Before I do that I'd hope to have the deficiencies running under Xen
could get some kind of "official" work-around.
Works OK, but I have some random stalls in window-manager and browsers,
without anything showing up in top or atop. One of my suspected culprits
is some kind of error time-out in graphics rendering. I'm not a
programmer, so wading through threads in gdb is not my forte.
