You are correct, there's no such thing as PCI GART on the mach64.  From 
memory, the only difference between AGP and PCI DMA scatter-gather 
tables is you need to set a bit somewhere to specify the pages are AGP 
memory, when required.  Other than that, the DMA mechanism is the same, 
from the driver's point of view.  As far as I can remember, anyway :-)
