I have been in contact with Dave Jones, and I'm going to work with him to get a patch into 2.5 with all this functionality, however this is not based on 2.5 stuff. This is significantly different functionality as to what has been provided in 2.5. This is bleeding edge new agp 3.0 and agpgart vm stuff.

Have you worked together with Dave Jones who did a full rework of the current AGP implementation for 2.5/2.6 and maybe a backport for 2.4?
