Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 112/216] drm/i915: Don't complain about stolen conflicts on gen3

3.16.7-ckt4 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@...ll.ch>

commit 0b6d24c01932db99fc95304235e751e7f7625c41 upstream.

Apparently stuff works that way on those machines.

I agree with Chris' concern that this is a bit risky but imo worth a
shot in -next just for fun. Afaics all these machines have the pci
resources allocated like that by the BIOS, so I suspect that it's all
ok.

This regression goes back to
