For reference, Linus was seeing problems on i830 chipset with onboard
graphics. Testers from all i8xx would be equally useful, as there are
a lot of shared paths in agpgart for these chipsets.
The onboard graphics part also seemed to be a factor. People using
proper agp-slot graphics cards never saw this issue.
