Summary

The graphics stolen memory is only GPU accessible. So, we don't have to
copy any data to it as the guest will be unable to access it anyway. We
just have to allocate and reserve some memory. That's done by adding an
E820 entry for the graphics stolen memory. The guest firmware will pick
up the E820 and reserve this range.

Note that we try to reuse the host address as Intel states that newer
Tiger Lake platforms need this [1].
