There are many instances where vmemap allocation is often switched between
regular memory and device memory just based on whether altmap is available
or not. vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() is used in various platforms to allocate
vmemmap mappings. Lets also enable it to handle altmap based device memory
allocation along with existing regular memory allocations. This will help
in avoiding the altmap based allocation switch in many places.
While here also implement a regular memory allocation fallback mechanism
when the first preferred device memory allocation fails. This will ensure
preserving the existing semantics on powerpc platform. To summarize there
are three different methods to call vmemmap_alloc_block_buf().
(., NULL, false) /* Allocate from system RAM */
(., altmap, false) /* Allocate from altmap without any fallback */
(., altmap, true) /* Allocate from altmap with fallback (system RAM) */
