Is there any easy way to find out from the card itself. I've got a PCI
220 here. 

The drivers I've touched which handle PCI bus (VIA, S3 (trying to
ressurect it) and SIS6326 (buggy still)) all use their own memory
allocators for the PCI side and don't go into PCIGART world. SiS
supports only linear textures/buffers in main memory via PCI which is a
problem to use because of the Linux memory allocator.
