I did something that sounds like what you're trying to do, in the Savage driver
for command DMA. Instead of using the DMA buffer infractructure I simply created
a map of a chunck of AGP memory that can't be mapped to unprivileged clients.
The DRM uses that map as a command buffer with its own ageing and buffer
management implementation.

I was going to try something like that in the Mach64 driver. Not sure how
feasible this is or if there are any hardware issues that may prevent this.
