Back in 2014, commit fb7023e0e248 ("drm/i915: BDW: Adding Reserved PCI
IDs.") added the reserved PCI IDs in order to try to make sure we had
working drivers in case we ever released products using these IDs
(since we had instances of this type of problem in the past). The
problem is that the patch only touched the macros used by
early-quirks.c and by the user space components that rely on
i915_pciids.h, it didn't touch the macros used by i915_pci.c. So we
correctly handled the stolen memory for these theoretical IDs, but we
didn't actually drive the devices from i915.ko.
So this patch fixes the original commit by actually making i915.ko
drive these IDs, which was the goal. There's no information on what
would be the GT count on these IDs, so we just go with the safer
intel_broadwell_info, at the risk of ignoring a possibly inexistent
BSD2_RING.
I did some checking, and it seems that these IDs are driven by
intel-gpu-tools, xf86-video-intel and libdrm (since they contain old
copies of i915_pciids.h), but they are not checked by mesa.
The alternative to this patch would be to just assume we're actually
never going to use these IDs, and then remove them from our ID lists
and make sure our user space components sync the latest i915_pciids.h
copy. I'm fine with either approaches, as long as we make sure that
every component tries to drive the same list of PCI IDs.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
