Subject: [PATCH 3.14 22/98] drm/i915: Dont complain about stolen conflicts on gen3

3.14-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
