I just compiled the RC-2 and it is still not working here on a RV635/HD3650 even with the radeon.aspm=0 parameter. Systematically hangs at boot with dpm enabled.

Could you fix it adg5?
Or do you have a fix available that we could test?

3.11 RC2 here with radeon.dpm=1: my E-450 laptop hangs at suspending / resuming (sometimes at suspending, sometimes at resuming). Please, check the resume/suspend code.
However, I'll leave 3.11 RC2 installed, since it gives me the same battery life of Catalyst, and I also got that bug with Catalyst (it's a bug in the original AMD code). If you know how can I get logs of suspending / resuming, please, tell me.
BTW, all Fedora users, please, test again: there is a Mesa-9.2-git_snapshot_from_yesterday package set in Koji; that package includes the Radeon 2D performance boosts published on Phoronix.

I tried the latest kernel from Alex's fork quickly for the most simplest things for my Intel 4000 + HD 7970M again.
Booting with dpm=1 works okay.
rmmod radeon worked.
modprobe radeon dpm=1 took several seconds and something in the UVD initialization went wrong. Doesn't really matter, it worked and I won't use the UVD anyway.
rmmod radeon got me a complete system lockup. In the past rmmod radeon did always lockup the first time.
In previous versions I tried vgaswitcheroo and always got a compete lockup too.
Come on, AMD that is the top of the line mobile gpu from you. I understand if radeonsi rendering is not good yet. But system lockup when trying to power save or reloading the driver? Come on!
On the other hand I get complete lockups too on the intel driver on the latest stable kernel too. It's not even hard to reproduce. Play half life 2 deatmatch for a few hours and you have a very good chance that your system locks up.
I want my 2008 linux back that didn't lock up all the time. :/

It seems like a half-done alpha code of some sort, nothing complete.
(I'm glad it didn't kill my gpu.)All opinions are my own not those of my employer if you know who they are.

Phoronix tends to do exaggerate (like always). "New feature, wowz, year of the linux desktop awesome #omg"
It's false advertisement, but not by you.
Thanks for your hard work, I'll keep an eye on your drm repo and the mainline kernel as well. (Hope I will be able to help.)
@Eric: See my reply.
