I'd be very much in favour of that, if we can just use the integrated
gart and drop agp fast writes wobbliness on the floor. I think the
only other modern driver using agp would be nouveau at that point.

All radeons have a built in remapping table to handle non-AGP systems.
On the earlier radeons it wasn't quite as performant as AGP, but it
was always more reliable because AGP is AGP. Maybe it's time to let
AGP go?

The first-gen amigaone platform (6xx/book32s) uses the radeon driver
together with non-coherent DMA. However this only ever worked reliably
for DRI1.

agp subsystem still seems to happily do that (vmalloc memory for
device access), never having been ported to dma apis (or well
converted to iommu drivers, which they kinda are really). So I think
this all still works exactly as back then, even with the kms radeon
drivers. Question really is whether we have users left, and I have no
clue about that either.
Now if these boxes didn't ever have agp then I think we can get away
with deleting this, since we've already deleted the legacy radeon
driver. And that one used vmalloc for everything. The new kms one does
use the dma-api if the gpu isn't connected through agp.

This was due to some drivers (radeon ?) trying to use vmalloc pages for
coherent DMA, which means on those 4xx powerpc's need to be non-cached.
There were machines using that (440 based iirc), though I honestly
can't tell if anybody still uses any of it.

Well Ben added this to make stuff work on ppc, ofc the home grown dma
layer in drm from back then isn't going to work in other places. I guess
should have at least an ack from him, in case anyone still cares about
this on ppc. Adding Ben to cc.

[PATCH 19/28] gpu/drm: remove the powerpc hack in drm_legacy_sg_alloc
If this code was broken for non-coherent caches a crude powerpc hack
isn't going to help anyone else. Remove the hack as it is the last
user of __vmalloc passing a page protection flag other than PAGE_KERNEL.
