Contiguous Memory Allocator requires each of its regions to be aligned
in such a way that it is possible to change migration type for all
pageblocks holding it and then isolate page of largest possible order from
the buddy allocator (which is MAX_ORDER-1). This patch relaxes alignment
requirements by one order, because MAX_ORDER alignment is not really
needed.

The Contiguous Memory Allocator is a set of helper functions for DMA
mapping framework that improves allocations of contiguous memory chunks.
CMA grabs memory on system boot, marks it with MIGRATE_CMA migrate type
and gives back to the system. Kernel is allowed to allocate only movable
pages within CMA's managed memory so that it can be used for example for
page cache when DMA mapping do not use it. On
dma_alloc_from_contiguous() request such pages are migrated out of CMA
area to free required contiguous block and fulfill the request. This
allows to allocate large contiguous chunks of memory at any time
assuming that there is enough free memory available in the system.
This code is heavily based on earlier works by Michal Nazarewicz.
