Subject: drm/i915/gvt: Disable access to stolen memory as a guest
From: Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 04a68a35ce6d7b54749989f943993020f48fed62 upstream.
Explicitly disable stolen memory when running as a guest in a virtual
machine, since the memory is not mediated between clients and reserved
entirely for the host. The actual size should be reported as zero, but
like every other quirk we want to tell the user what is happening.
