As the IGPs "tend" to "steal" system memory:

[   21.733864] nouveau  [     PFB][0000:01:00.0] RAM type: stolen system memory
[   21.733883] nouveau  [     PFB][0000:01:00.0] RAM size: 256 MiB
[   21.787222] nouveau  [     DRM] VRAM: 256 MiB

can we reverse the process in this case, and "steal" a few GB of VRAM for a system memory?
I mean there are more than enough.
