Bug Description

The i915/intel-agp modules fail to load on newer sandybridge GPU's because the pci id's are missing. It only binds to preproduction devices currently but the shipping id's have been pushed upstream. For the kernel these are the 3 relevant commits

Support the extended physical addressing bits on Sandybridge (4fefe435 is dependent on this one):
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=3869d4a8afd3ce97770e66d6a96672af93984cc2

Adds sandybridge mobile D0 stepping support:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=4fefe435626758b14e6c05d2a5f8d71a997c0ad6

Adds more variants:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=8554048070906579ec9fa19ac381deddd2d7b155

xserver-xorg-video-intel also needs updating to recognize these new devices and the commits are upstream
