Yes, please do that before speculating more about the problem.

But i'm pretty certain now that this isn't the cause for the lockups.
They are probably (quite certainly) caused by the dynamic
binding/unbinding of AGP memory which the Uninorth chipset used in
32-bit powermacs obviously doesn't support.

"doesn't support" is too strong; it's working fine on this PowerBook5,8.
But the older the revision of UniNorth, the more quirks.

All it supports seems to be statically allocating a 256 MB contigouous
non-cacheable AGP aperture and using that (since the chipset doesn't
do any address mapping via the GART as indicated in the OpenBSD code).

It does address mapping for the GPU, that's the whole point of the GART.
What UniNorth doesn't do in contrast to most AGP bridges is provide a
linear aperture to the CPU as well. But that shouldn't be an issue per
se.

So to get AGP mode working again on those machines one would have to
disable the dynamic memory stuff. Question: Would that require changes
in the driver only or also in the DRM ?

It's not really possible with radeon KMS.

Here are the dmesg output for PCI and AGP mode with kernel 3.4.69:

i'm not certain whether gpu addr 0 is okay for the fence driver or whether the gtt location is okay (according to the comment in radeon_gtt_location it should be placed before or after VRAM) In PCI mode it ends at 0x0000000097FFFFFF and VRAM starts directly after at 0x0000000098000000. In AGP mode GTT and VRAM are completely unrelated.

Other than that it looks like the alignment thing isn't the problem.

Cheers

Jochen
