 Radeon HD devices can stash their AtomBIOS in the ATRM ACPI node. We
 should try and obtain a copy there first before attempting other methods.

 The location this needs done in is:
 http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/add-
 ons/kernel/drivers/graphics/radeon_hd/radeon_hd.cpp#n133

 Defines of the AMD ACPI methods are here:

 ATRM contains the AtomBIOS (or points to it, not 100% how that works)

 At the moment, a lot of cards that should be using the ATRM node are
 falling back to my Video shadow bios hack (0xC0000) which can be
 unreliable.
