It is actually beyond 4GB on that machine, this value read here is from
the previous kernel-boot. The BIOS does not reset these values on a
reboot.

Yes, I suspected that too (and spent a few hours reading radeon code),
but then I talked the Alex Deucher and he explained that these addresses
which the driver prints for GTT and VRAM are in the GPU address space
and do not refer to system ram. So this shouldn't be the problem.
