These patches themselves are not going to affect that directly.
But IFF the problem really is that the AGP needs to be treated as not
cache coherent (I have no idea if that is true) the generic direct
mapping code has full support for a per-device coherent flag, so
support for a non-coherent AGP slot could be implemented relatively
simply.
