General setup
[*] Configure standard kernel features (for small systems)  --->
[*]   Enable 16-bit UID system calls

                                     [*]   Sysctl syscall support


   [*]   Load all symbols for debugging/ksymoops

                                        [ ]     Do an extra kallsyms
pass

           [*]   Support for hot-pluggable devices

                                                  [*]   Enable support
for printk

                [*]   BUG() support

                                                      [*]   Enable ELF
core dumps

                      [*]   Enable full-sized data structures for core

                                                             [*]
Enable futex support

                                 [*]   Enable eventpoll support


[*]   Use full shmem filesystem

                                       [*]   Enable VM event counters
for /proc/vmstat

Processor type and features
[ ] IOMMU support

Then you can disable agpgart

Does it really matter either way?  I've been curious about this myself.
