That's just because we have de-duped the stolen memory detection code. If it's not detected at the early quirks, it's not detected by the driver at all. So if the patch is not merged to early quirks, we'd have to refactor the code to add alternative detection path to i915. Before that is done, the failures are expected. > I'm sure that means something to graphics developers, but I have no > idea!

The thing is, the bug reports for stuff like this would only start to flow after Jasperlake systems are shipping widely and the less common OEMs start integrating it to into strangely behaving BIOSes. Or that is the assumption. If it's fine to merge this through i915 for now with an Acked-by, like the previous patches, that'd be great. We can start a discussion on if the new platforms are affected anymore. But I'd rather not drop it before we have that understanding, as the previous problems have included boot time memory corruption. Would that work?
