drm/i915: buddy allocator
Simple buddy allocator. We want to allocate properly aligned power-of-two blocks to promote usage of huge-pages for the GTT, so 64K, 2M and possibly even 1G. While we do support allocating stuff at a specific offset, it is more intended for preallocating portions of the address space, say for an initial framebuffer, for other uses drm_mm is probably a much better fit. Anyway, hopefully this can all be thrown away if we eventually move to having the core MM manage device memory.
