[Xen-devel] making changes to agp code?

["Langsdorf, Mark" <mark.langsdorf@xxxxxxx>]

As part of my endless quest to enable GART/IOMMU, I
realized I need to make a slight change to a static
function inside of agp-amd64.c.  Currently Xen doesn't
have -xen variants of the AGP code.  Is there a 
better way to handle this than sucking in the entire
AGP tree into xen-sparse?

As far what I need to change:
   pci-gart calls agp_amd64_init() to determine if
the aperture is provided by the BIOS, or if one 
needs to be allocated.  agp_amd64_init() calls
agp_amd64_probe() which calls another function
and so forth, and eventually aperture_valid()
calls 
PageReserved(pfn_to_page(aperture >> PAGE_SHIFT)).
The page isn't actually reserved, but dom0 thinks
it is, and the operation fails.  I would like to
do something more intelligent.
