    Revert "drm/i915: Fix detection of base of stolen memory"

    This reverts commit 53e587aa5ca81497d0ea6e340320ec5778d1f311.
    Yves-Alexis Perez reported that it broke the driver on two machines
    with GMA4500 and i965 chips. Only the backported version in 3.2.45
    had this effect; the fix in mainline is fine.

    Daniel Vetter stated that the fix is not needed in 3.2 anyway.
