It didn't, maybe it was delayed via the moderation queue.

Yes, these aren't relevant with KMS.

It corresponds to the control device node /dev/dri/controlD64 . There
are legacy/control/render nodes, but I don't remember the details about
the distinction.

The card imposes no restrictions on the number of indirect buffers (IBs)
that can be allocated. The radeon driver pre-allocates 16 IBs for
dispatching commands to the GPU.

Yes.

It should, they might be drowned by these two. Or maybe you need to
enable more debugging messages e.g. with drm.debug=0x3 or =0x7.
