AGP allocation/deallocation is suffering major performance issues due to
the nature of global_flush_tlb() being called on every change_page_attr()
call.
For small allocations this isn't really seen, but when you start allocating
50000 pages of AGP space, for say, texture memory, then things can take
seconds to complete.
In some cases the situation is doubled or even quadrupled in the time due
to SMP, or a deallocation, then a new reallocation. I've had a case of
upto 20 seconds wait time to deallocate and reallocate AGP space.
This patch fixes the problem by making it the caller's responsibility to
call global_flush_tlb(), and so removes it from every instance of mapping a
page into AGP space until the time that all change_page_attr() changes are
done.

This updates .owner field of struct pci_driver.
This allows SYSFS to create the symlink from the driver to the module which
provides it.

When leaving S3 state, the AGP bridge may not have all PCI configuration
registers set in the same way as they were at boot. This should be fixed
by pci_restore_state - however, the APBASE register cannot be set to
conflict with the APSIZE register. If APSIZE is larger than it was before
suspend, pci_restore_state will not restore APBASE correctly. The attached
patch adds an extra item to the agp_bridge_data structure and uses it to
store the value of APBASE. On resume, this is then written after APSIZE
has been set. This patch only touches the path used for Intel chipsets
without integrated graphics, and may need to be extended to work with the
others.
Without this patch, I get the symptoms described in bug 4921 - APBASE ends
up overlapping various PCI devices, and as a result they fail to work after
resume.

When Linux is running on the Xen virtual machine monitor, physical
addresses are virtualised and cannot be directly referenced by the AGP
GART. This patch fixes the GART driver for Xen by adding a layer of
abstraction between physical addresses and 'GART addresses'.
Architecture-specific functions are also defined for allocating and freeing
the GATT. Xen requires this to ensure that table really is contiguous from
the point of view of the GART.
These extra interface functions are defined as 'no-ops' for all existing
architectures that use the GART driver.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
