Roman Gushchin df2ff39e78 mm: cma: allocate cma areas bottom-up
Currently cma areas without a fixed base are allocated close to the end of
the node.  This placement is sub-optimal because of compaction: it brings
pages into the cma area.  In particular, it can bring in hot executable
pages, even if there is a plenty of free memory on the machine.  This
results in cma allocation failures.

Instead let's place cma areas close to the beginning of a node.  In this
case the compaction will help to free cma areas, resulting in better cma
allocation success rates.

If there is enough memory let's try to allocate bottom-up starting with
4GB to exclude any possible interference with DMA32.  On smaller machines
or in a case of a failure, stick with the old behavior.

16GB vm, 2GB cma area:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
