	The largest possible order is (63-PAGE_SHIFT), given that our min chunk size is PAGE_SIZE. With that we should only need at most 6 bits to represent all possible orders, giving us back 4 bits for other potential uses. Include a simple selftest to verify this.

2019-08-10	drm/i915: buddy allocator	Matthew Auld
	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.
