We normally clear the page tables as one of the first things during
initialization. They are however wired up (and potentially valid) before
we clear them.
To prevent the GPU from doing anything we might later regret, simply get
zeroed pages, which always mean invalid on all GENs.
NOTE: that a similar paranoia could be applied to GGTT via making sure
all entries are invalid ASAP. I think the extra work required to fix
such a BIOS bug is unwarranted until proven necessary.
v2: Remove useless GFP_ZERO in the kcallocs
