I don't plan to do anything with this since previous similar patches
have gone through some other tree, so this is just kibitzing.

But the fact that we have this long list of Intel devices [1] that
constantly needs updates [2] is a hint that something is wrong.

IIUC the general idea is that we need to discover Intel gfx memory by
looking at device-dependent config space and add it to the E820 map.
Apparently the quirks discover this via PCI config registers like
I830_ESMRAMC, I845_ESMRAMC, etc, and tell the driver about it via the
global "intel_graphics_stolen_res"?

That's not the way this should work.  There should some generic, non
device-dependent PCI or ACPI method to discover the memory used, or at
least some way to do it in the driver instead of early arch code.

How is this *supposed* to work?  Is there something we can do in E820
or other resource management that would make this easier?
