Added a check for the radeon ring buffer write index in r600.c which
reads 0xffffffff on resume. This results in an Oops during
radeon_ring_write. Masking the value averts this.

This problem is not seen to be fixed in 3.0 r600.c as well.

The indentation of the lines you're adding doesn't match the surrounding
lines.
Sorry. This looked fine in the mail I sent. I shall be careful in future.



Although the same workaround is already in r100.c, I wonder if we
shouldn't rather try and eliminate all reads from the CP_RB_WPTR
register, at least other than for debugging purposes. Alex, what do you
think?

Otherwise, this should probably be added in evergreen.c as well.

No need to include all this text, just the *-by: tags are enough.

Point taken.
