The patch titled
atyfb: Remove unneeded calls to wait_for_idle
has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is
atyfb-remove-unneeded-calls-to-wait_for_idle.patch
See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find
out what to do about this
From: "Antonino A. Daplas" <adaplas@xxxxxxxxx>
The drawing functions of atyfb is unecessary syncing the GPU which is
affecting performance. Remove the calls, any direct access by fbcon to the
framebuffer will always be preceeded by a call to atyfb_sync().
