Should we define a macro for 512
+#define CMR_INFO_ARRAY_ALIGNMENT 512
And get rid of this comment? AFAICT Dave didn't like such comment mentioning
512-bytes aligned if we have a macro for that.

I confess the reason I used __get_free_page() was to avoid having to allocate
twice, and in case of failure, I need to handle additional memory free. But I
can do if you think it's clearer?
I wouldn't worry about wasting memory. The buffer is freed anyway for now.
Long-termly it's just 4K.
