MFC r318353:

Avoid use of contiguous memory allocations in busdma when possible.

This patch improves the boundary checks in busdma to allow more cases
using the regular page based kernel memory allocator. Especially in
the case of having a non-zero boundary in the parent DMA tag. For
example AMD64 based platforms set the PCI DMA tag boundary to
PCI_DMA_BOUNDARY, 4GB, which before this patch caused contiguous
memory allocations to be preferred when allocating more than PAGE_SIZE
bytes. Even if the required alignment was less than PAGE_SIZE bytes.

This patch also fixes the nsegments check for using kmem_alloc_attr()
when the maximum segment size is less than PAGE_SIZE bytes.

Updated some comments describing the code in question.
