On attempting to load the radeon driver with an AGP card (any radeon chipset) and no valid AGP bridge driver, radeon_agp_init produces a Kernel Oops (Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference) upon attempting to determine if the bridge is required. This will prevent boot in a misconfigured system that loads the driver early (ie. in initramfs or built into the kernel). Trace is attached.
Created attachment 30432 [details] [review] Patch to fall back to PCI mode when AGP bridge is not available - Proposed solution is to fall back to PCI(E) mode early on if the AGP bridge entry is NULL.
