Yes, I noticed that both GENERIC and MINIMAL kernels do have the agp(4) driver
included.  But as I can see, it doesn't make sense to compile this driver if
your machine doesn't need it (I mean, no actual hardware for the driver;
`dmesg |grep agp' outputs nothing on my ThinkPad X220).  As I understand from
Emmanuel Vadot's message, the problem can be solved with conditional
compilation, but I just want to sort of bump it, because I found that it
hasn't been solved yet.  I think that it's better to do this before the driver
will actually be removed.
