I'm not so sure that this is a good idea. If the GART driver
requests the GART aperture, then users of the GART aperture (e.g.
the DRM driver) will no longer be able to use it.

Presumably the DRM driver would be obtaining access to parts of the
GART aperture through the GART driver, rather than just grabbing the
IO region and using it for itself?
