Comment 15 for bug 917211

Joseph, sorry for the delay - I am somehow not getting email updates on bugs that I've commented on.

So applying the patches requires them to be upstream - and while Dave Airlie had not trouble with them, he did suggest to concentrate on PCIe/PCI subset.

Anyhow, I can dust them off and start respining them for upstream - but the issue I forsee is more of testing. The patches rework the AGP API code and to make sure that it does not impact negatively older platforms I should do due diligence and test them (for regressions). I have some of the AGP chipset motherboards (nvidia, intel, sisworks, and via), but I lack the really weird ones - like SGI ZX1 chipset or the Transmeta boxes. Perhaps if somebody has them laying around I can do this but without that hardware in hand there is a risk..
