The following URL potential cache coherency interaction between Athlon
speculative writes and the GART.  Could FreeBSD be affected?

"AMD's educated guess is that these Athlon/AGP stability problems have to
do with speculative writes by the CPU and how they can cause indavertent
trashing of AGP memory if pages are mapped with indiscretion by the OS
and drivers."
