Thanks a lot for the update.

In this context, the TTM unit tests fail as well in qemu, with worse result:
It seems there is some bad cleanup after a failed test case, causing list
corruptions in the drm core and ultimately a crash. I don't know if this
is also caused by the missing dma_mask initialization.

Thanks,
