So, the PowerPC AGP GART ends up being cached and non-coherent, right
(assuming there's no way to set the page attributes MTRR/PAT-style)?
Would something like a fixed memory carve-out help in these cases
(like CMA, but not allowing the CPU to access the reserved area)? Not
that I expect something like that to ever be implemented, of course,
just curious to understand the requirements.
