Finally caught it! It's within drm_pci_alloc() which will try to setup dma mask
for pci_dev again! That is used for physical address based hardware status page
for 965G (i915_init_phys_hws()), as alloc with pci coherent interface. But trying
to set mask again in an alloc function looks wrong to me, and driver should setup
their own consistent dma mask according to hw. 

So following patch trys to remove mask setting in drm_pci_alloc(), which fixed
the origin problem as dma mask now has the right 36bit setting on intel hw. I
can't test if ati bits looks correct, Dave?

As intel hws page does support 36bit physical address, that will be another patch
for setup pci consistent 36bit mask for it. Any comment?
