The previous code was "use 7/8 of stolen space, unless we've got a ton
in which case limit it to 8MB."  Now your code has a ton of cases to use
4/8MB increments.  Why 4/8MB increments?  From the commit message, I
would have expected:

cfb_size = prealloc_size * 7 / 8;
if (IS_GM45(dev) || IS_IRONLAKE_M(dev)) {
   if (cfb_size > (32 * 1024 * 1024))
      cfb_size = 32 * 1024 * 1024;
} else {
   if (cfb_size > (8 * 1024 * 1024))
      cfb_size = 8 * 1024 * 1024;
}
