Implemented a function which walk through the order list,
compares the offset and returns the maximum offset block,
this method is unpredictable in obtaining the high range
address blocks which depends on allocation and deallocation.
for instance, if driver requests address at a low specific
range, allocator traverses from the root block and splits
the larger blocks until it reaches the specific block and
in the process of splitting, lower orders in the freelist
are occupied with low range address blocks and for the
subsequent TOPDOWN memory request we may return the low
range blocks.To overcome this issue, we may go with the
below approach.

The other approach, sorting each order list entries in
ascending order and compares the last entry of each
order list in the freelist and return the max block.
This creates sorting overhead on every drm_buddy_free()
request and split up of larger blocks for a single page
request.

v2:
  - Fix alignment issues(Matthew Auld)
  - Remove unnecessary list_empty check(Matthew Auld)
  - merged the below patch to see the feature in action
     - add top-down alloc support to i915 driver

ooc, why did you choose to implement this as an alloc flag?
Seems to me like it would be a good candidate for a new memory region. 
That way allocation algorithms wouldn't need exta logic and ttm can 
already handle migrations.
