I don't see any reason for that. That definitely shouldn't happen.

Hrm... radeonfb already saves the config space elsewhere. Note that it
could maybe be converted to pci_save_state() / pci_restore_state() but
currently, I do my own as I use that for "testing" if the card is still
in it's previous state or was shut down. (I could probably use the
content of a register instead, like CLK_PIN_CNTL)

The above will probably blow up anything that is not an x86 with ACPI.
Besides there is already a mecanism in that file for calling functions
for re-posting cards (since I have code to explicitely re-post rv280 and
rv350 mobility on macs), you should hook into that existing mecanism
when you detect ACPI.
