drm/i915: fully apply WaSkipStolenMemoryFirstPage
Don't even tell the mm allocator to handle the first page of stolen on the affected platforms. This means that we won't inherit the FB in case the BIOS decides to put it at the start of stolen. But the BIOS should not be putting it at the start of stolen since it's going to get corrupted. I suppose the bug here is that some pixels at the very top of the screen will be corrupted, so it's not exactly easy to notice. We have confirmation that the first page of stolen does actually get corrupted, so I really think we should do this in order to avoid any possible future headaches, even if that means losing BIOS framebuffer inheritance. Let's not use the HW in a way it's not supposed to be used. Notice that now ggtt->stolen_usable_size won't reflect the ending address of the stolen usable range anymore, so we have to fix the places that rely on this. To simplify, we'll just use U64_MAX. v2: don't even put the first page on the mm (Chris) v3: drm_mm_init() takes size instead of end as argument (Ville) v4: add a comment explaining the reserved ranges (Chris) use 0 for start and U64_MAX for end when possible (Chris) Bugzilla: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94605 Cc: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/1481808235-27607-1-git-send-email-paulo.r.zanoni@intel.com
