Why _is_ that AGP code using those silly thing in the first place?

I actually looked at writing an AGP subdriver without using any of the 
common AGP infrastructure (just writing the "insert_entries()" and 
"remove_entries()" functions directly, without caring about those broken 
AGP "generic helper functions") and it looked _simpler_ than much of the 
crap that is there now.

It's sad when the helper functions end up being more bother than help.
