I wanted to ask if there are any known workarounds atm that would
allow me to use my X11 for now?

X is doing a mmap of /dev/mem instead of /dev/fb ?

You can normally map the fb mapping /dev/fb and then map the registers
using /dev/fb at an offset beyond the framebuffer (fix->smem_len).

If X is using /dev/mem instead, then it's being stupid and needs to be
fixed...

It's up to the driver, and again, the current radeon driver doesn't use
radeonfb at all anymore...
