I haven't seen it blow up at runtime, but we have special code in
i915_gem_object_create_stolen_for_preallocated which handles the
!drm_mm_initialized case. So I've figured we need this. Iirc it's to allow
us to wrap the vbios framebuffer.

Hm, on that notion I wonder whether we should keep the display up while
doing a module reload - it would be a neat exercise for all that fastboot
state reconstruction code. Especially the fb reconstruction code would get
much more pacing than what it gets now (since grub tends to leave the
display in VGA mode so often ...).
