Untested, but looks sane to me.

On a slightly related note, I'm starting to regret the current
heap-helpers approach (Andrew probably gets an "I told you so" there
:). While it avoids a lot of duplication, it's really an all or
nothing approach, and doesn't really compare well to other drm style
helper functions.  I may eventually try to break the system and cma
implementations out of the helper code and try to consider a different
approach to avoid the duplication.
