Hi Gleb,

This commit is going to cause runtime regressions on various ARM
platforms because it renames a symbol but fails to update all default
configurations that select the symbol. A quick grep shows that three ARM
platforms are affected:

	$ git grep CONFIG_CMA=y
	arch/arm/configs/keystone_defconfig:CONFIG_CMA=y
	arch/arm/configs/omap2plus_defconfig:CONFIG_CMA=y
	arch/arm/configs/tegra_defconfig:CONFIG_CMA=y

I've been digging around a bit and it seems like the original patch from
Aneesh had the defconfig changes but they were dropped because they "...
require separate handling to avoid pointless merge conflicts."[0]

While I can't speak for Keystone or OMAP, at least on Tegra this causes
issues because we use CMA for framebuffer allocation. Since we only have
CMA selected but not the new DMA_CMA, large DMA allocations will fail.

Can we have the defconfig changes added back to this patch, please? I
suspect that Linus can handle any resulting merge conflicts.

Thierry
