According to the ati.cchtml.com bug, this is actually a problem with

No. libpciaccess gets passed incorrect 64bit pointers.
Ah. Then I misunderstood the explanation from that bug.
available there is a patch for libpciaccess, described by its author as an
"ugly hack" (on which I agree, as it seems to be hardware-specific to some
degree).
The binary blobs are passing invalid pointers, the blobs can't be patched,
only the receiving side can be patched to work around the invalid input data.
Acknowledged. Suggestion withdrawn.

Every time you let somebody set a limit they start moving it.
