The people writing the AGP driver have added their ID's in the wrong format.
ATI wants the IDs in the two letter form, not family/chip.  The fbdev patch has
the ID's in correct form. The AGP driver should be the one that gets changed.

I don't think that can be done. At least not easily.

- PCI IDs list should be in pci_ids.h as every other drivers, reality is
that adding new IDs to pci_ids.h is not hard so your driver will not be the
exception to the rule.
I agree here. We do need to watch out for the AGP drivers. Changing PCI 
Id's can break them. I dicovered that recently.
