Series dma-buf: Performance improvements for system heap & a system-uncached implementation |

  While the system heap can return non-contiguous pages,
try to allocate larger order pages if possible.

This will allow slight performance gains and make implementing
page pooling easier.

Thanks so much for the review and feedback!

So yes, this was pulled from ION's system heap:
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/staging/android/ion/ion_system_heap.c#n20

But adding __GFP_COMP as that's added by ION in the pagepool code I
didn't include:
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/staging/android/ion/ion_page_pool.c#n146

I unfortunately don't have a lot of detail on the exact rationale
(other than what I can pull from the commit log), I suspect it has to
do experiential knowledge of the majority of graphics buffers being
small multiples of 1M or 64K.

But I do agree some rationale in a comment would be helpful, and will
try to add that.

As for your comment on HPAGE_PMD_ORDER (9 on arm64/arm) and
PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER(3), I'm not totally sure I understand your
question? Are you suggesting those values would be more natural orders
to choose from?

Thanks again!
