Still broken in 4.7.0, in case that wasn't obvious.  In related news, took me
20 minutes of blind reboots to get this piece of crap running this afternoon
(came up after "only" 4 boots this morning).  Now it seems to like going black
in X shortly after starting, even with power management turned off.  Thermal
issues?  Not likely, since the machine runs hot during use and doesn't flake
out, but who knows?  Defective hardware?  Not likely, since efifb works
perfectly every time (but I do want to occasionally do things that are not
affected by the limitations of efifb).  Given the complete lack of
documentation for just about anything power related, both hardware and software
(how about that incredibly useful barely English documentation "select this
option will enable AMD powerplay component." for the "Enable AMD powerplay
component" compile-time option?  Good thing everybody knows exactly what AMD
powerplay is, and how it differs from all the other undocumented power
management options), I can't exactly fix this myself.
