Subject: [PATCH v2 RFC/RFT] dma-contiguous: Get normal pages for single-page allocations

The addresses within a single page are always contiguous, so it's
not so necessary to always allocate one single page from CMA area.
Since the CMA area has a limited predefined size of space, it may
run out of space in heavy use cases, where there might be quite a
lot CMA pages being allocated for single pages.

However, there is also a concern that a device might care where a
page comes from -- it might expect the page from CMA area and act
differently if the page doesn't.

This patch tries to get normal pages for single-page allocations
unless the device has its own CMA area. This would save resources
from the CMA area for more CMA allocations. And it'd also reduce
CMA fragmentations resulted from trivial allocations.

Also, it updates the API and its callers so as to pass gfp flags.
