Some kernel internal objects may need to be allocated as a contiguous
block, also thinking ahead the various kernel io_mapping interfaces seem
to expect it, although this is purely a limitation in the kernel
API...so perhaps something to be improved.

Support memory regions, as defined by a given (start, end), and allow
creating GEM objects which are backed by said region. The immediate goal
here is to have something to represent our device memory, but later on
we also want to represent every memory domain with a region, so stolen,
shmem, and of course device. At some point we are probably going to want
use a common struct here, such that we are better aligned with say TTM.
