Lauri Kasanen deadcb36f4 drm/radeon: Use two-ended allocation by size, v2
This decreases eviction by up to 20%, by improving the fragmentation
quality. No harm in normal cases that fit VRAM fully (PTS gaming suite).

In some cases, even the VRAM-fitting cases improved slightly (openarena, urban terror).

512kb was measured as the most optimal threshold for 3d workloads common to radeon.
Other drivers may need different thresholds according to their workloads.

v2: Nicer formatting

************************************************************

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
    http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation
