It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to waste large amounts of fast vram for page tables to access slower system memory.  The original patch was basically a workaround to enable some larger workloads by default t until we reworked the gtt and vram managers in the driver.  Now that that is largely complete, we don't really need as large a gart anymore.
