There were two different approaches getting used in this driver to allocate vram: 1. VRAM allocation from PCI region for Gen1 2. VRAM alloaction from MMIO region for Gen2 First approach limilts the vram to PCI BAR size, which is 64 MB in most legacy systems. This limits the maximum resolution to be restricted to 64 MB size, and with recent conclusion on fbdev issue its concluded to have similar allocation strategy for both Gen1 and Gen2. This patch unifies the Gen1 and Gen2 vram allocation strategy.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
