Alan Cox c869e67208 Introduce a new mechanism for relocating virtual pages to a new physical
address and use this mechanism when:

1. kmem_alloc_{attr,contig}() can't find suitable free pages in the physical
   memory allocator's free page lists.  This replaces the long-standing
   approach of scanning the inactive and inactive queues, converting clean
   pages into PG_CACHED pages and laundering dirty pages.  In contrast, the
   new mechanism does not use PG_CACHED pages nor does it trigger a large
   number of I/O operations.

2. on 32-bit MIPS processors, uma_small_alloc() and the pmap can't find
   free pages in the physical memory allocator's free page lists that are
   covered by the direct map.  Tested by: adrian

3. ttm_bo_global_init() and ttm_vm_page_alloc_dma32() can't find suitable
   free pages in the physical memory allocator's free page lists.

In the coming months, I expect that this new mechanism will be applied in
other places.  For example, balloon drivers should use relocation to
minimize fragmentation of the guest physical address space.

Make vm_phys_alloc_contig() a little smarter (and more efficient in some
cases).  Specifically, use vm_phys_segs[] earlier to avoid scanning free
page lists that can't possibly contain suitable pages.
