The problem is simple: when setting up the AGP aperture, it's putting it
after the framebuffer + CONFIG_APER_SIZE, which is wrong. On that guy,
CONFIG_APER_SIZE might only be _half_ of the mapped vram space (as the
card can be setup for 2 contiguous apertures).

We need to make sure the DRM uses what is in MC_FB_LOCATION "top", and
that itself should be set ideally to
max(CONFIG_APER_SIZE*2,CONFIG_MEMSIZE) to avoid any possible kind of
overlap.
