Hmm. There surely was some kind of dependency between intel-agp and i915
which required the former to be builtin when i915 was, and that was the
reason for the kconfig magic IIRC. Not quite sure why I made i915 depend
on AGP and select INTEL_AGP though, instead of just
'depends on (INTEL_AGP || INTEL_AGP=n)'
but I guess there was some reason.
Anyways, after looking at git logs, I guess the dependency was
'extern int intel_agp_enabled' which got killed off in
commit 3bb6ce668663 ("drm/i915: Kill legeacy AGP for gen3 kms")
so perhaps note that in the commit message.
But yeah, with that stuff gone I think this should be fine, so
