How about reading DCE registers?

Sure, I don't think anybody's concerned about that. My concerns are:

* In the cases where we still only reserve 256K, there will likely still
  be artifacts during driver initialization.

* 32M might still not be enough in some cases, e.g. 5K / 8K displays.


P.S. Please don't top-post.
