In an ideal world ... However, since we are planning to move the memory
manager to the kernel, that would mean a kernel access (syscall, ioctl,
whatever...) twice per access to AGP memory. Not realistic.
The case of the CP ring is easy to deal with by the macros we have there
already and it would be kernel-kernel. But it would be a hit for a lot
of other things I suppose.
Ben.
