Subject: [RFC] AGP initial support for chipset flushing..

Hi,

We've uncovered a need when using the new memory manager to flush the 
chipset global write buffers on certain intel chipset due to a lack of 
coherency..

The attached patches add a new AGP interface  for this purpose and 
implements this in the Intel AGP driver. This stuff is based of some 
guesswork in the 915 case from comments in the documentation :).

Unfortuantely the 965 BIOS doesn't set this stuff up properly and it 
doesn't use a standard BAR address, so I have to do it by hand, I'd 
appreciate any commentary particularly in the setting up of the resource 
stuff.

Regards,
Dave.
