It is not normal to add e820 entries for device memory.  Also, it is
not normal for a BIOS to add special mappings for video cards (how
would it know what needed to be mapped).  One exception to this would
be machines with built-in video adapters where the video ram is shared
with system ram - however, in that case the memory area would almost
certainly be at the end of ram and not at a fixed location.

So, in general, this looks like a hack for VBE - can't we just fix
this in the VBE code instead of adding it to the BIOS?
