Problem present on vanilla -rc2.

No... my kernel message buffer isn't large enough for that :-(
Right, I guess I now know where the delay is coming from. I suppose this is not expected. dmesg as captured after starting X and without "debugpat" at:
http://members.home.nl/rene.herman/pat/dmesg.x
Truncated dmesg with "debugpat":
http://members.home.nl/rene.herman/pat/dmesg.x.debugpat
> plus contents of <debugfs>/x86/pat_memtype_list?
Before starting X (1K):
http://members.home.nl/rene.herman/pat/pat_memtype_list.console.debugpat
After starting X (625K):
http://members.home.nl/rene.herman/pat/pat_memtype_list.x.debugpat
(This is with 64MB AGP memory)
More data:
