Atm we reserve/allocate and free the power context during GT power enable/disable time. There is no need to do this, we can reserve/allocate the buffer once during driver loading and free it during driver cleanup. The re-reservation can also fail in case the driver previously manages to allocate something on the given fixed address. The buffer isn't exepected to move even if allocated by the BIOS, for safety add an assert to check this assumption. This also fixed a bug for Ville, where re-reserving the context failed during a GPU reset (I assume because something else got allocated on its fixed address).

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
