Ah, this one is a Mac; if it's using the EFI to boot (I think it is)
probably the BIOS on the card is not run; s2ram uses vbetool during
resume, which may post the card BIOS. So I guess the card is not fully
initialized (or it's just in an "unexpected" state) when radeonhd
starts poking at it right after a cold boot.
