gpu: nvgpu: Implement a vidmem allocator
Implement an allocator suitable for managing the video memory on dGPUs. It works by allocating chunks from an underlying buddy allocator and collating the chunks together (similar to what an sgt does in the wider Linux kernel). This handles the ability to get large buffers in potentially fragmented memory. The GMMU can then obviously map the physical vidmem into contiguous GVA spaces.
