Do we need to worry about XE_PPGTT_PTE_DM in xelp_pte_encode_addr() ? I 
don't think that bit is used for stolen until recent platforms? We seem 
to guard against this in xelp_pte_encode_bo() with xe_bo_is_stolen_devmem().

Do we actually trigger this path for stolen? Or is this just for 
symmetry with copy?

Also, I guess overall idea here is to call copy() directly, and not mess 
with this at the bo_move()/validate() level?
