I still disagree, and shuffled radeon_ib_get around to be called sooner.

How does the patch below look?
8<-------
Allocate and copy all kernel memory before doing reservations. This prevents a locking
inversion between mmap_sem and reservation_class, and allows us to drop the trylocking
in ttm_bo_vm_fault without upsetting lockdep.

Changes since v1:
- Kill extra memcpy for !AGP case.
