I'd like to propose removing the agp(4) driver in FreeBSD 15.0. It is Giant-locked, so during attach already prints a warning about removal. Moreover, while trying to fix a problem that was triggering panics during agp attach, I inadvertently broke the device file interface in 14.0, which appears to have gone unreported until quite recently, see https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=281035 From this I infer that agp is effectively unused, and it's certainly unmaintained. Given that and the above, let's remove it: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D46542 https://reviews.freebsd.org/D46543 Feedback or objections are welcome here or on the reviews.
