We have this fallback in most callers already. And with me adding
it to the dma-iommu code in one series, and you to arm here I think
we really need to take a step back and think of a better way
to handle this, and the general mess that dma_alloc_from_contiguous.
So what about:
(1) change the dma_alloc_from_contiguous prototype to be:
struct page *dma_alloc_contiguous(struct device *dev, size_t size, gfp_t gfp);
that is: calculate order and count internally, pass the full gfp_t
and mask it internally, and drop the pointless from in the name.
I'd also use the oppurtunity to forbid a NULL dev argument and
opencode those uses.
(2) handle the alloc_pages fallback internally. Note that we should
use alloc_pages_node as we do in dma-direct.

Same for dma_release_from_contiguous - drop the _from, pass the
actual size, and handle the free_pages fallback.
