Actually, I am experiencing exactly the same problem on a Sam460ex ppc
system, at least as of 3.9 (the last time I tried it).

Very rarely the ringtest would pass, but then it would fail somewhere else.
I never could figure it out since as far as I could tell all the addresses
and logic was correct. It wasn't important enough for me to work more on it,
but I'd be happy to test code. I'm travelling for the next week and a half,
so I can't do anything right now.

One bug I found when working on drm/kms support for the ppc was that in
struct ttm_bus_placement the base address type was wrong: it should be
phys_addr_t, not unsigned long. The PPC460 is in 32-bit mode but physical
addresses are >32 bits.

The patch below fixes that. I always wanted to post this fix, but never got
around to it...

Regards,

	Hans
