I used dd:

  # dd if=/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/amdgpu_vram bs=1048576 count=1 skip=6127 | hexdump -C |tail
  1+0 records in
  1+0 records out
  1048576 bytes (1.0 MB, 1.0 MiB) copied, 0.0696037 s, 15.1 MB/s

My current patch set implements an override, which is definitely useful for
testing. As for adding a quirk – I've not looked into how best to do this yet.

Done, though only to the list.
