Depends on the host AGP chipset, not the card. So far, the userland ioctl
API can only mmap the physical aperture, not RAM pages, so it doesn't
work with chipsets that don't support this feature. The stock DRM doesn't
neither, only patched versions to support that mapping of RAM pages work
and only with the in-kernel agpgart API.
