Thanks for the heads up. Are you sure this is still relevant in drm-next? I don't see any dmesg error about disabling GPU acceleration. I did what you suggested, but nothing seems to have changed except I get no text until radeonkms has loaded (I don't get garbage I get nothing at all). I still get dmesg errors regarding ring test failures and such, so turning the EFI framebuffer off doesn't appear to have actually changed anything.
