Ah! So do we only have the loop so that each allocation isn't bigger 
than 2GiB? If yes couldn't we instead add a max_alloc_size or something 
similar?

BTW: I strongly suggest that you rename min_page_size to min_alloc_size. 
Otherwise somebody could think that those numbers are in pages and not 
bytes.

I'm not sure if that works.

As far as I can see drm_buddy_alloc_blocks() can allocate multiple 
blocks at the same time, but i is only incremented when we loop.

So what you should do instead is to check if node->blocks just contain 
exactly one element after the allocation but before the trim.

Good argument. Another thing I just realized is that we probably want to 
double check if we only allocated one block before the trim.
