Implement bus_dmamem_alloc_size() and bus_dmamem_free_size() as

counterparts to bus_dmamem_alloc() and bus_dmamem_free().  This allows
the caller to specify the size of the allocation instead of it defaulting
to the max_size field of the busdma tag.

This is intended to aid in converting drivers to busdma.  Lots of
hardware cannot understand scatter/gather lists, which forces the
driver to copy the i/o buffers to a single contiguous region
before sending it to the hardware.  Without these new methods, this
would require a new busdma tag for each operation, or a complex
internal allocator/cache for each driver.

Allocations greater than PAGE_SIZE are rounded up to the next
PAGE_SIZE by contigmalloc(), so this is not suitable for multiple
static allocations that would be better served by a single
fixed-length subdivided allocation.
