I think on VLV and CHV the base is not used by the hardware. The docs
list the field as reserved, and there's a note that the hw just derives
the value as (top_of_stolen - size).
Although it does look like some BIOSen do still program the base.
My BSW has it set, but neither of my two VLVs have it.
So maybe we want to put this logic into the vlv/chv specific functions,
and maybe have the common code WARN if we get inconsistent values out?
