If specified on the kernel command line the hugetlb_dmb parameter
modifies the behavior of the hugetlb_cma parameter to use the
Contiguous Memory Allocator within Designated Movable Blocks for
gigantic page allocation.
This allows the kernel page allocator to use the memory more
agressively than traditional CMA memory pools at the cost of
potentially increased allocation latency.
