On discrete, so far DSM is always just snipped off the end of lmem. On
DG1, which only has 4G lmem, the base seems to always exactly match
the DSM start(not sure if this is a fluke). However on DG2, which has
much larger lmem size, the base is still the same IIRC, but it isn't
even close to where DSM is located on such a device. Best guess is
that we were meant to just treat the bios fb(or that part of stolen
lmem) as a part of normal lmem, and might explain why the base is not
relative to the dsm.start like on integrated?
