Indeed, but we do not have drivers for them. Even the nearest likely
candidate (agp_amd.c which *might* be usable with an alpha cpu, if
anybody has made such a motherboard) has i386-specific stuff in it.
And then there are things like this:
agp_flush_cache()
{
#ifdef __i386__
wbinvd();
#endif
}
.. which are there to "make it compile" rather than actually work. Having
this being built by default is just wasting compile time on non-i386
systems, especially since it isn't a state ready to be used yet.
Cheers,
-Peter
