Adding the pci ids won't cut it unfortunately as it looks like the 
memory controller setup works differently.

I don't think there is a bug currently in the bugzilla for this though, 
feel free to add one.

Patches for adding the pci ids could be found here 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5413 but it will just lock 
up. As a side note, the pci id stuff is a horrible, inconsistent and 
incomplete mess in the radeon driver (ddx, dri and drm), some ids 
apparently still missing completely even in ddx 
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4284). Unfortunately it 
doesn't look like anyone actually knows which devices really exist (well 
I'd hope ATI knows).
