there is really two problems (in my opinion):

	1) AGP_GET_APERTURE() is failing to return the aperture.
	2) agp_alloc_gatt() should return an error (0) if AGP_GET_APERTURE()
	   fails instead of malloc/contigmalloc. This would result in no
	   monitor use, but that would be better than a panic.

--Mark.
