+Subject: [PATCH] drm/radeon: Disable writeback by default on ppc
+
+At least on an IBM Power 720, this check passes, but several piglit
+tests will reliably trigger GPU resets due to the ring buffer pointers
+not being updated.  There's probably a better way to limit this to just
+affected machines though.
