In RHEL5, yes.  Personally I'm okay with saying those people get to run
RHEL5 kernels too, but Linus might have stronger opinions I guess.

That said we really don't use kernel support for this.  Certainly
there's no acceleration on ILK.  The corresponding kernel patch appears
to do nothing more than add the PCI IDs to the AGP driver, and add
IS_IRONLAKE() to I915_NEED_GFX_HWS().
