Guard against highmem pages before putting them into the agp subsystem

This attachment adds a simple check against highmem pages, making memory corruption on this way impossible. This may be a problem on 64bit kernels, if the "unsigned long" used as address data type in the agp subsystem is 64bit wide. On the other hand i suspect that the agp subsystem doesn't handle addresses above 4G well.
