I, after following the steps in the radeon_howto, have compiled the
/sys/src/cmd/aux/vga utility and a 386 pcf kernel in /sys/src/9/pc/
successfully and booted off of newer kernel, which seems to be working fine.

Now, how do I test, benchmark and, or profile this radeon driver against
a generic one?

OTOH, I have edited the radeon_howto a bit, to make it somewhat handy
for the users of 'acme' in particular; one can simply right click on the
quoted file names and, or paths to edit and, or open the same in 'acme'.
Here at http://werc.homelinux.net/hacks/plan9/radeon_howto is modified
version of the same for your kind reference and a bundle of other
requisite files at http://werc.homelinux.net/hacks/plan9/radeon.tar.gz
