Update the savage manual page:
- Added options AGPSize, DmaType and ForcePCIMode. - Updated DisableCOB: 3D requires COB, default value is "off", which means that the COB is enabled.

Disables the COB (Command Overflow Buffer) on savage4 and newer chips.
There is supposedly a HW cache coherency problem on certain savage4 and
newer chips that renders the COB useless. If you are having problems with
-2D or 3D acceleration you can disable the COB, however you will lose some
