I'll check the chipset docs when I get time, and add a comment if
necessary. No-one seems to be complaining that it isn't working,
so I'm inclined to believe your diagnosis is correct.

DRI folks, this seems like duplication given that this data is available
in agpgart. How about changing this to read whatever agpgart has set in
.chipset_name ?

Keeping these two lists in sync seems somewhat pointless.
