I sent out a series of patches to the xorg-devel list.  Feel free to revive 
them.

Note that the title of this bug isn't exactly true, because Xorg works just fine without patching on a Loongson-based Fuloong system which uses a SiS 315 video chip.

The problem seems to be related specifically to a Silicon Motion video chip in combination with some non-x86 architectures.
