That's the order issue I have mentioned. intel_agp is the pci driver for
host bridge (dev 00:00), and drm/i915 is the pci driver for gfx device
(dev 00:02). Host bridge will always resume earlier than gfx device, but
for intel_agp we need to access gfx device when reconfigure GTT in resume,
we can't wait until restore happen in i915 driver.

So there might be a conflict here, as i915 driver also do pci_restore_state()
after we did reconfigure in intel_agp driver, some configs may be corrupted 
then. Although I haven't seen it in real testing.
