Block sizes are only limited by the largest power-of-two that will fit
in the region size, but to construct an object we also require feeding
it into an sg list, where the upper limit of the sg entry is at most
UINT_MAX. Therefore to prevent issues with allocating blocks that are
too large, add the flag I915_ALLOC_MAX_SEGMENT_SIZE which should limit
block sizes to the i915_sg_segment_size().
v2: (matt)
- query the max segment.
- prefer flag to limit block size to 4G, since it's best not to assume
the user will feed the blocks into an sg list.
- simple selftest so we don't have to guess.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
