    These small changes should allow GEM to be used with non shmem objects as
    well as shmem objects. In the GMA500 case it allows the base framebuffer to
    appear as a GEM object and thus acquire a handle and work with KMS.
    
    For i915 it ought to be trivial to get back the wasted memory but putting the
    system fb back into stolen RAM and in general I can imagine it allowing the
    use of GEM and thus KMS with all the older cards that have their framebuffer
    firmly placed in video RAM.
