x86: fix Dom0 booting time regression
Unfortunately the changes in c/s 21035 caused boot time to go up
significantly on certain large systems. To rectify this without going
back to the old behavior, introduce a new memory allocation flag so
that Dom0 allocations can exhaust non-DMA memory before starting to
consume DMA memory. For the latter, the behavior introduced in
aforementioned c/s gets retained, while for the former we can now even
try larger chunks first.
This builds on the fact that alloc_chunk() gets called with non-
increasing 'max_pages' arguments, end hence it can store locally the
allocation order last used (as larger order allocations can't succeed
during subsequent invocations if they failed once).
