I'm really amazed. This has been broken for months, and no-one noticed.
The day I fixed it in the agpgart bk tree, I got a half dozen reports,
and now I'm getting one daily. Truly bizarre.

Yep, the other issues (compile problems) are fixed up and will be going
to Linus real soon now, this problem though is something that is being
looked at by Matt (i7x05 gart driver author) right now.
Hopefully that'll also get fixed up with the changes being readied for 2.5.67
The reason i7x05 does things differently is that the generic-3.0 code
looks at the devices hanging of the device 0 (in that case, agp gfx cards).
I realised last week that the generic code is broken, as every other
agp chipset has the agp cards as secondaries of the agp bridge, not the
host bridge. Rather than fudge things like this, it looks like a lot
of the generic-3.0 stuff will be ripped out. It doesn't really work
properly, and is of questionable use.

No problem 8-)
