As we are observing low numbers in viewperf graphics benchmark, we
are strictly not allowing the top down flag enabled allocations
to steal the memory space from cpu visible region.
The approach is, we are sorting each order list entries in
ascending order and compare the last entry of each order
list in the freelist and return the max block.
Did you also run the selftests? Does everything still pass and
complete in a reasonable amount of time?
I will try giving a run
This patch improves the viewperf 3D benchmark scores.

One advantage of not sorting is when splitting down a large block.
Previously the most-recently-split would be at the start of the list
for the next order down, where potentially the next allocation could
use it. So perhaps less fragmentation if it's all part of one BO.
Otherwise I don't see any other downsides, other than the extra
overhead of sorting.
Allocating from freelist is traversing through right side (i.e top most
address range) and for TOPDOWN flag allocations we just split the top
most large block once and the subsequent TOPDOWN low order allocations
would get block from same already split large block
For the normal allocations, I modified to retrieve the blocks in each
order list from the last entry which has the high probability of getting
top most blocks as we have sorted the blocks in each order list.
Thus the bottom most large blocks are not frequently used, hence we have
more space for the visible region on dGPU.
For APU which has small sized VRAM space, the allocations are now
ordered and we don't allocate randomly from freelist solving
fragmentation issues.

Formatting doesn't look right here.
I will check.
Going to test this today with some workloads with small-bar and i915
just to see if this improves/impacts anything for us.
