This looks like an issue I've had related to the "backdoor entry" hack for GART_IOMMU – Basically, amd64_agp doesn't utilise module_init or module_exit when CONFIG_GART_IOMMU is enabled, instead stating:
drivers/char/agp/amd64-ag...@774-775: /* On AMD64 the PCI driver needs to initialize this driver early <http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=drivers/char/agp/amd64-agp.c;h=2fb2e6cc322aab1a36164de3fc99674559dea9ed;hb=HEAD#l775> for the IOMMU, so it has to be called via a backdoor. */ This resulted, on my system, of the agpgart not being initialised despite the module being loaded, and ultimately leads to the crash you describe below. My "fix" was to remove the #ifndef surrounding the module_init and module_exit calls, however I'm not sure if this is the best way to approach the issue (I have no idea what this backdoor mentioned *is*, and AFAIK it all works for other drivers).
