  SVN rev 206409 on 2010-04-09 02:39:20Z by alc
  
  Introduce the function kmem_alloc_attr(), which allocates kernel virtual
  memory with the specified physical attributes.  In particular, like
  kmem_alloc_contig(), the caller can specify the physical address range
  from which the physical pages are allocated and the memory attributes
  (i.e., cache behavior) for these physical pages.  However, in contrast to
  kmem_alloc_contig() or contigmalloc(), the physical pages that are
  allocated by kmem_alloc_attr() are not necessarily physically contiguous.
  This function is needed by DRM and VirtualBox.
  
  Correct an error in the prototype for kmem_malloc().  The third argument
  had the wrong type.
