Subject: [PATCH 3.11 115/144] drm/i915: Disable stolen memory when DMAR is active

3.11.10.7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Chris Wilson <chris@...is-wilson.co.uk>

commit 0f4706d2740f2a221cd502922b22e522009041d9 upstream.

We have reports of heavy screen corruption if we try to use the stolen
memory reserved by the BIOS whilst the DMA-Remapper is active. This
quirk may be only specific to a few machines or BIOSes, but first lets
apply the big hammer and always disable use of stolen memory when DMAR
is active.

v2 by Jani: Rebase on -fixes, only look at intel_iommu_gfx_mapped.
