Subject: [patch] agp: don't lock pages

Hi,

Does this patch solve the X problem? Does anyone see anything wrong
with it or know why agp was locking the pages?

--
AGP should not need to lock pages. They are not protecting any race
because there is no lock_page calls, only SetPageLocked.

This is causing hangs with d00806b183152af6d24f46f0c33f14162ca1262a.
