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...
In agpgart context the "fronend" is the character device for userland. these functions should be exported because they are the driver API. The only reason they weren't used previously is because of the inter_module_* braindamage to hide it.
