Users report a white flickering screen on multiple systems that
is tied to having 64GB or more memory. When S/G is enabled pages
will get pinned to both VRAM carve out and system RAM leading to
this.
Until it can be fixed properly, disable S/G when 64GB of memory or
more is detected. This will force pages to be pinned into VRAM.
This should fix white screen flickers but if VRAM pressure is
encountered may lead to black screens. It's a trade-off for now.

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.
