Subject: drm/radeon spamming alloc_contig_range: [xxx, yyy) PFNs busy busy

Somewhere in the Radeon/DRM codebase, CMA page allocation has either
regressed in the timeline of 4.5->4.9, and/or the drm/radeon code is
doing something different with pages.

Given that I haven't seen ANY other reports of this, I'm inclined to
believe the problem is drm/radeon specific (if I don't start X, I can't
reproduce the problem).

The rate of the problem starts slow, and also is relatively low on an idle
system (my screens blank at night, no xscreensaver running), but it still ramps
up over time (to the point of generating 2.5GB/hour of "(timestamp)
alloc_contig_range: [83e4d9, 83e4da) PFNs busy"), with various addresses (~100
unique ranges for a day).

My X workload is ~50 chrome tabs and ~20 terminals (over 3x 24" monitors w/ 9
virtual desktops per monitor).

I added a stack trace & rate limit to alloc_contig_range's PFNs busy message
(patch in previous email on LKML/-MM lists); and they point to radeon.
