agp: ensure GART has an address before enabling it

Some BIOSs (eg.  the AMI BIOS on the Asus P4P800 motherboard) don't
initialise the GART address, and pcibios_assign_resources() can ignore it
because it can be marked as a host bridge (see
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24392#c5 for details).  This
was handled correctly up to 2.6.35, but the pci_enable_device() cleanup in
2.6.36 96576a9e ("agp: intel-agp: do not use PCI resources before
pci_enable_device()") means that the kernel tries to enable the GART
before assigning it an address; in such cases the GART overlaps with other
device assignments and ends up being disabled.

This patch fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24392



Note that I imagine efficeon-agp.c probably has the same problem, but
I can't test that and I'd like to make sure this patch is suitable for
-stable (since 2.6.36 and 2.6.37 are affected).
