Right now, we have *A* global CMA pool set up in
dma_contiguous_reserve() that everyone shares.

Why does this *one* driver deserve to be a special snowflake and get its
own private CMA area and own command-line options?

It seems to me like you should just tell users to set
CONFIG_CMA_SIZE_MBYTES or use cma=size on the command-line and just use
the global pool.  If you want to make it a special snowflake, there's a
much higher bar to clear, and there's zero justification for that right now.

Oh, and this:

is goofy.  It either only needs powers-of-2 and can take "order" as an
argument instead of 'size', or it should be using alloc_pages_exact() to
avoid wasting memory.
