I'm experiencing the same "cache grows" issue with driver 2.7.99 and
kernels 2.6.30, but a i915 card. So the problematic code must be common.

It took me some time to figure that was not a kernel issue, but a video
driver one. I can confirm caches take about half of my 500 MB of RAM,
arent' dropped by issuing "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches", and don't
decrease even when the system is dying by lack of memory.
