The removal of 3 "unneeded exports" in bk-agpgart.patch conflicts with
code adding usage of them in Linus' tree:

that makes me really really curious why the fb driver calls into the
backend and not just the agp frontend layer like the rest of the world
does...

Because all functions in the frontend are marked static and are accessible
only via ioctl.

Anyway, I think the drivers can make do without the
agp_backend_acquire/release() functions, since all they do is
increment/decrement  a use count field.  I don't know about agp_copy_info()
but it might be possible to get the agp information from pci_dev structure.
This part I'm not sure.

What's wrong with exporting the symbols back again?
