Subject: [RFC v2 3/7] perf: support high-order allocations for AUX space

Some pmus (such as BTS or Intel PT without multiple-entry ToPA capability)
don't support scatter-gather and will prefer larger contiguous areas for
their output regions.

This patch adds a new pmu capability to request higher order allocations.
