           Summary: compiling nouveau kernel without AGP=y fails
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal

         Component: Driver/nouveau
        AssignedTo: nouveau-PD4FTy7X32lNgt0PjOBp9y5qC8QIuHrW@public.gmane.org
        ReportedBy: xake-ca8b1Tj3MiseIZ0/mPfg9Q@public.gmane.org

Check out a nouveau kernel tree.
make allnoconfig
make *config and enable only the necessary things to enable DRM_NOUVEAU
make all

This will fail with:
  CC      drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_bo.o
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_bo.c: In function
'nouveau_bo_create_ttm_backend_entry':
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_bo.c:315: error: implicit declaration of
function 'ttm_agp_backend_init'
drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_bo.c:315: warning: return makes pointer from
integer without a cast
make[4]: *** [drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/nouveau_bo.o] Error 1


To make ttm_agp_backend_init avaible and nouveau to actually compile you have
to enable AGP in the kernel also.

Should AGP be a reuirment or should the module just not try to use
ttm_agp_backend_init if AGP is unset?

I have currently no idea which role AGP plays in todays modern PCI-E computers
(or old PCI card) if any at all?
