    kernel - Improve contiguous DMA memory allocation
    
    * vm_page_alloc_contig() will use vm_page_alloc() for degenerate
      requests instead of the free page reserve.  This case often
      occurs when called from kmem_alloc_attr().
    
    * vm_contig_pg_alloc() will scan the VM page queues first for
      unrestricted memory requests, falling back to vm_page_alloc_contig()
      if this fails.
    
      vm_contig_pg_alloc() will call vm_page_alloc_contig() first if the
      memory request has an address range restriction, falling back to
      a VM page queue scan if it fails.
    
    * This should hopefully reduce instances where device drivers probed
      prior to e.g. NATA eat up all available low-memory DMA space,
      leaving none for NATA (or other drivers) that might need low-memory
      DMA space.
