Ok I've just pushed a branch testing-3.15-v3 to fdo which moves all page 
table allocation to the end of VRAM. Please try with this memory layout, 
it should give us a good idea if it's indeed a memory corruption or 
something else.

Apart from that please try to lockup your system with 
radeon.lockup_timeout=0 on the kernel commandline and then try to get a 
dump of the vm page tables with the script I've send to you in one of 
the mails.

Thanks for the help,
Christian.
