First step towards supporting small-bar is to track the io_size for
vram. We can longer assume that the io_size == vram size. This way we
know how much is CPU accessible via the BAR, and how much is not.
Effectively giving us a two tiered vram, where in some later patches we
can support different allocation strategies depending on if the memory
needs to be CPU accessible or not.
Note as this stage we still clamp the vram size to the usable vram size.
Only in the final patch do we turn this on for real, and allow distinct
io_size and vram_size.
v2: (Lucas):
- Improve the commit message, plus improve the kernel-doc for the
io_size to give a better sense of what it actually is.

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.
