    drm/i915: Disable GEM when a broken video BIOS takes up the whole aperture.

    This is seen on some G41 systems, where the BIOS will consume all but
    a few KB of the aperture. This should be bad for all operating systems, as
    it means that the OS can't dynamically manage memory between graphics and
    the rest of the system, and OSes that did static memory management
    statically add memory in addition to the BIOS allocation anyway. So, instead
    of working around it, just fail out verbosely.

    fd.o bug #21574
