Hello, we where building 3.1.4 kernel when we noticed BUG()s on bootup.

Allocated in drm_vblank_init+0x139/0x260 [drm] + Freed in
drm_vblank_cleanup+0x78/0x90 [drm]
Allocated in drm_vblank_init+0xbe/0x260 [drm] + Freed in
drm_vblank_cleanup+0x48/0x90 [drm]

It is Amd Bulldozer computer, with Radeon card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Cedar PRO
[Radeon HD 5450]

Debian stable. Builded with make-kpkg using gcc 4.4.5

With radeon + kms the bug happens around 1 in 3 boot ups, right after
the radeon is enabled (with slub debugging) or later with no debug (few
seconds later or on shutdown esp. in rmmod).

When disabling radeon and KMS the bug was not seen;


Please fix this bug :) What to test to help fixing it?
