MFC r278153,284416: ttm memory allocation improvements

If the vm_page_alloc_contig() failed in the ttm page allocators, do
what other callers of vm_page_alloc_contig() do, retry after
vm_pageout_grow_cache().

ttm_vm_page_alloc: use vm_page_alloc for pages without dma32 restriction
This change re-organizes code a little bit to extract common pieces
of ttm_alloc_new_pages() and ttm_get_pages() into dedicated functions.
Also, for requests without address restrictions regular vm_page_alloc()
is used.
Lastly, when vm_page_alloc_contig() fails we call VM_WAIT before calling
vm_pageout_grow_cache() to ensure that there is enough free pages at
all.

Note: no MFC to stable/9 because it lacks vm_pageout_grow_cache().


# 275408 02-Dec-2014 tijl

MFC r273862,273902:

Port the TTM AGP backend to the FreeBSD agp driver and enable AGP support
in the radeonkms driver.

Note: In PCI mode virtual addresses on the graphics card that map to system
RAM are translated to physical addresses by the graphics card itself. In
AGP mode address translation is done by the AGP chipset so fictitious
addresses appear on the system bus. For the CPU cache management to work
correctly when the CPU accesses this memory it needs to use the same
fictitious addresses (and let the chipset translate them) instead of using
the physical addresses directly.
