Correct. That will use the PCI BAR rather than the underlying physical
memory for CPU access to the carve out region.

MC = memory controller (as in graphics memory controller).
These are GPU addresses not CPU addresses so they should be fine.

Looks like it initialized fine. I guess the DMCUB firmware issues are
not fatal. Probably need input from one of the display guys on that.

That won't work. These are GPU addresses not CPU addresses.
