I have no idea how that ever worked in the first place since AGP isn't 
supposed to sync between CPU/GPU. Everything is coherent for that case.

Anyway here is a patch which adds a check to those functions if the 
dma_address array is allocated in the first place. Please test it.

Thanks,
Christian.
