That's what I did with the video drivers that I wrote (s3, ati,
3dfx). I used a chunk of memory at either the beginning or end of the
video memory, and adjusted the frame buffer accordingly.

Good to know I'm not alone ;-)
I'm somehow drawing the cursor into the wrong memory, though... oh
well, I probably passed the wrong relative memory location... not
killing anything though ;-)
I don't think haiku-commits is the location for all this shenanigans :)
I wouldn't worry about messing up your video card... My Radeon HD 7970
survived
me doing all kinds of insane things to it while working on radeon_hd.
As for where to allocate the cursor memory... i'm not 100% sure about
that
off the top of my head. I could find out from AMD but it may take a
few days.
As long as you don't fiddle with the power management (which would also
effect
heat management)... things should be fine.
