I have removed it now so we can discuss better and ensure that we
are taking the best uapi decisions that are acceptable and won't
break the compatibility later after we are merged upstream.

The time to break was now, so I removed.

But we can continue with the discussion and see what is the best
approach.

My first question would be: why does Level0 needs to know the stolen
size? So, why we don't add that information along with the query uapi?

It would be really awkward to see a value in the sysfs as total memory
and a completely different value on the query ioclt? this stolen part
apparently needs to be more transparent then, no?!
