Sounds like we either need to align the buffers a bit more, accidentally 
overwrite parts of them or indeed messed up their size calculation 
somewhere.

I've just pushed a new branch testing-3.15-v2 to 
git://people.freedesktop.org/~deathsimple/linux. It only contains the 
two patches already submitted for 3.15 inclusion and the "drm/radeon: 
completely over allocate PD and PTs" patch split into four separate changes.

Please retest and if it still works try once more which change fixed it. 
I'm going to try to purposely un-align the buffers on my bonaire in the 
meantime, maybe I get it to crash as well.

Thanks,
Christian.
