That is part of "most drivers". Some do provide a device-specific
mechanism to implement GART, e.g. Radeons do. In some other cases, the
system might already provide gart functionality on bridges anyway. But
documenting this in any sane way is difficult at best. So the easiest
way is likely to just list agp and add a comment that it is possible to
skip it with DRM_NO_AGP in some cases.
