[PATCH 7/7] radeontool: Avoid lockup on ‘radeontool regmatch '*'’ on r128

Running ‘radeontool regmatch '*'’ with an ATI Rage 128 Mobility M3 LF
(AGP) locks up the system.

The register reads that lock up are CRTC2_CRNT_FRAME and
CRTC2_VLINE_CRNT_VLINE; it is not clear to me why.  From the
xf86-video-r128 source I can see that this is one of the handful of
r128 chips that supports dual-head operation, but at the time of the
lockup, the CRTC2_GEN_CNTL register had value 0x0 (i.e., CRTC2
disabled); maybe that’s why.

Presumably these two registers would only be relevant if CRTC2 is
enabled, so as a safety measure, check for that before displaying them
with ‘radeontool regmatch [pattern]’.

A similar crash was reported on 2009-12-02 on #radeon for an R300, so
presumably this problem is not restricted to pre-Radeon cards.
