This bumps the AGP interface to 0.103.
Certain Intel chipsets contains a global write buffer, and this can require
flushing from the drm or X.org to make sure all data has hit RAM before
initiating a GPU transfer, due to a lack of coherency with the integrated
graphics device and this buffer.
This just adds generic support to the AGP interfaces, a follow-on patch
will add support to the Intel driver to use this interface.

This patch allows drm to populate an agpgart structure with pages of its own.
It's needed for the new drm memory manager which dynamically flips pages in and out of AGP.
The patch modifies the generic functions as well as the intel agp driver. The intel drm driver is
currently the only one supporting the new memory manager.
Other agp drivers may need some minor fixing up once they have a corresponding memory manager enabled drm driver.
AGP memory types >= AGP_USER_TYPES are not populated by the agpgart driver, but the drm is expected
to do that, as well as taking care of cache- and tlb flushing when needed.
It's not possible to request these types from user space using agpgart ioctls.
The Intel driver also gets a new memory type for pages that can be bound cached to the intel GTT.

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!
