I'm not sure how useful keeping stolen memory is. Stolen memory
is not accessed by CPU directly. One is for GTT, but GTT is alias in
PCI bar already. The other is to back as framebuffer for early boot-up,
which is mapped to GTT, so the access actually comes from GPU which
is what RMRR should care about for IOMMU setup.
Thanks
