Daniel Vetter fcc9fe1a5a drm/i915: restrict vt-d stolen memory workaround to pre-gen8
We want future generations to at least attempt to use all features, so
restrict the stolen memory disabling when vt-d is enabled to the
latest generation we have reports for. Which is a HSW per the original
report.

Also once we get a bit a hold of some of the mysterious framebuffer in
stolen memory issues that still haunt bugzilla, we should probably
drop this hack again and see what happens.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
