There used to be a time where API changes were supposed to be upwards
and downwards compatible. I grieve for that time.

Seriously, this change would have been easy to do in a less invasive
manner by not nuking the hook, but just not using it any more. And by
adding an additional hook for the new buffer types.

Enough ranting, radeonhd should be fixed now. Haven't validated, though.
And the r6xx-r7xx-support branch probably needs similar treatment.
