I should have added a comment for this too.  The physical range for the
power context must reside in stolen space.  So while it needs
contiguous physical memory, it also has a relationship to the stolen
handling.  I'd prefer to see a failure here than to try to do something
fancy with funky GTT vs stolen setups...  (Still waiting on the BIOS
guys to promise the identity map going forward.)
