As far as I can see, the stolen memory is only used by fbdev driver in gma500,
but the fbdev driver maps the stloen memory directly in psbfb_vm_fault, not
using psb_gem_fault to map the stolen memory.
The only scenario using the psb_gem_fault is the gtt range created by
psb_gem_create, which alloc the gtt range without stolen memory backed.

If I missed something, pls enlighten me.
Thanks a lot.
