If cant_use_aperture isn't set, my patch won't help, but it shouldn't
hurt anything either.  I.e., you should be no worse off than before.

What's the nature of those "ugly and fragile" hacks?  Are you saying
that CPU accesses to AGP space aren't remapped in the "normal" (PC)
way?  Or is it something entirely different?
