It'll be in 2.6.13 it was blocked on some other things,... I don't intend
pushing any of this stuff straight into the kernel, its a big "changeable"
with respects to what the final version is looking like, is_agp has just
changed when it was used somewhere other than the radeon card, I'm afraid
this will happen for lots of things, I don't think it is very important to
have this stuff in the kernel, no-one except us is using it yet...

No, you can quite validly do a sg alloc on an AGP card, you can also
legally run an AGP card in PCI-only mode something the current code allows
(as userspace sets it) but the new code actually stops as it detects it..
