That may be a stupid question, but is it allowed (for a DRM client or
whatever does the mapping) to change the content of a page mapped into
the AGP GART or is it necessary to explicitly unmap the page, change its
content and map it again?
I would say it's necessary to unmap the page first (sounds more like
the pci_[un]map_page() approach) - at least when it should work with
non-coherent architectures, too.
