On i945 the vram size is the default 8mb. It is also possible
to set it 1mb or 0mb hardcoding the GGC register in early_init.c
The intel documentation on i945, "Mobile Intel 945 Express Chipset
Family datasheet june 2008" only documents those three options.
They are set using 3 bits. The documententation also makes mention
of 4mb, 16mb, 32mb, 48mb, 64mb but not how to set it.
The other non documented (straight forward) bit combinations allow
to change the VRAM size to those other states.
What this patch does is:
- add those undocumented registers with their respective vram size to
the i945 NB code;
- make this a cmos option on targets that have this northbridge.
TEST: build, flash to target, set cmos as desired and boot linux.
On Debian it can be found using "dmesg | grep stolen".
NOTE: dmesg message about reserved vram are quite different depending
on linux version
