I know. We also discussed this topic over two years ago. :-)
What I didn't understand yet is how this uncacheable memory is allocated
(well, I never took the time to look at this again). The functions in
ttm_page_alloc.c seem to allocate normal cacheable memory and try to set
the page flags with set_pages_array_uc(), which is more or less a no-op
on powerpc. ttm_page_alloc_dma.c on the other side is only used with
SWIOTLB!?

Could it be that the memory is finally mapped uncacheable by radeon_bo_kmap()/
ttm_bo_kmap()/..some other TTM functions../vmap()?

I didn't work on the driver for a long time. It looks like I did the last
tests with a 2.6.39 kernel, where I changed the radeon test routine to not
stop on a failed copy. This way I could check for a pattern in the failed
copies.
Here is an excerpt of the 2.6.39 kernel log. IIRC the testing code changed
in the meantime so I guess it would make sense to repeat it with a newer
kernel version.

For the GTT->VRAM copy it looks like the AGPGART driver at least
gets the graphics aperture translation table right, as both the
returned and expected values are within a page. But the page offset
of the returned values (0x8c0, 0x8c4) makes me wonder whether I'm
fooled by a hardware bug or a cache coherency problem.
The VRAM->GTT copy totally puzzles me, as it returns a wrong page
address, but the offset is fine!?
