This almost solves our problem

does agpgard is specificaly for AGP?
Yes.
or can we use it for PCI?
I've never used it, but I've seen references to pcigart,
which provides (some of) the features of

what will be the performance gain if we use kernel
framebuffer support?
If we use a particular server for example Mach64
server

It can use the kernel's framebuffer if available, else a VBE 2.0 linear
frame buffer can be utilized with no necessary kernel
