Another in the AGP internals series, I'm afraid:

The AGPIOC_ALLOC call returns a physical address in the struct.

This implies that the memory gets allocated contiguously.
But how reasonable is it to assume that 32 or 64 megs of RAM will be
allocated contiguously?


What is the expected behaviour by the driver under fragmented physical
memory conditions?
(from the user-level perspective?)

The presense of the GATT table in the first place, implies that the
hardware itself does not expect large chunks of contiguous memory.
