Unfortunately, all Radeons are actually AGP chips, so IsPCI is never set
automatically, owners of PCI cards would have to use Option
"ForcePCIMode". My idea was to determine the type of GART to use from
the type of slot the card is connected to.

Besides, I'd remove all the PCIGART_ENABLED ugliness while we're at it.
