The code to do this is in the AMD atom bios parser that's in the
radeon and radeonhd drivers (r4xx-r6xx).  For pre-atom cards
(r1xx-r3xx) there is code in the radeon driver to do this using init
tables in the bios.

rhdAtomASICInit() for atom bios cards
RADEONPostCardFromBIOSTables() for pre-atom cards
