PATCH 2/2 drm/radeon: Use two-ended allocation by size

This decreases eviction by up to 20%, by improving the fragmentation quality. No harm in normal cases that fit VRAM fully (PTS gaming suite).

In some cases, even the VRAM-fitting cases improved slightly (openarena, urban terror).

512kb was measured as the most optimal threshold for 3d workloads common to radeon. Other drivers may need different thresholds according to their workloads.

Can you clean up the formatting of this chunk of code? It's a bit weird to read.

PATCH 1/1 drm/radeon: Use two-ended allocation by size, v2

This decreases eviction by up to 20%, by improving the fragmentation quality. No harm in normal cases that fit VRAM fully (PTS gaming suite).

In some cases, even the VRAM-fitting cases improved slightly (openarena, urban terror).

512kb was measured as the most optimal threshold for 3d workloads common to radeon. Other drivers may need different thresholds according to their workloads.

v2: Nicer formatting
