Daniel Vetter 3e99a6b956 drm/i915: Stop depending upon CONFIG_AGP_INTEL
The AGP_INTEL driver provides an interface for very old userspace to
control the GART (though the GART itself was only ever emulated on Intel
systems). The pci bridge discovery code is also used by the i915.ko
driver to set up the GTT on old systems, but it does not require the
old userspace interface. When i915.ko selects the old interface, it
binds another user to the core GTT routines, and in particular creates a
second reference to the scratch pages allocated. This hinders resource
leak debugging for when we unload i915.ko as we want to assert that all
DMA pages have been released, but we appear to leak because of the
secondary interface which persists after i915.ko unloads.

All i915.ko users do not require the old /dev/agpgart interface so stop
selecting it and simplify our debugging by dropping the historical
baggage.

Note that by selecting AGP=n it was already possible to unselect
AGP_INTEL. But since we've dropped support for any of the AGP stuff
long ago there's really no point for this any more.

Also note that we still need INTEL_GTT, which is the underlying,
shared, driver for the graphics GART on gen1-5.

Choose this option if you have a system that has "Intel Graphics
Media Accelerator" or "HD Graphics" integrated graphics,
including 830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM, 865G, 915G, 945G, 965G,
G35, G41, G43, G45 chipsets and Celeron, Pentium, Core i3,
Core i5, Core i7 as well as Atom CPUs with integrated graphics.
If M is selected, the module will be called i915. AGP support
is required for this driver to work. This driver is used by
the Intel driver in X.org 6.8 and XFree86 4.4 and above. It
replaces the older i830 module that supported a subset of the
hardware in older X.org releases.
Note that the older i810/i815 chipsets require the use of the
i810 driver instead, and the Atom z5xx series has an entirely
different implementation.

help
Choose this option if you have prerelease Intel hardware and want the
i915 driver to support it by default. You can enable such support at
runtime with the module option i915.preliminary_hw_support=1; this
option changes the default for that module option.
If in doubt, say "N".
