Thanks much for all your hardwork in getting these patches ready. It
looks like a sane approach to me to first just add the default cma
heap and work out the selection of other heaps later on.

I will wait out this weekend for any objections from others, and if I
hear none, will merge this series on Monday.
Hope that sounds reasonable?
