+ * Contiguous Memory Allocator
+ *
+ *   The Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) makes it possible to
+ *   allocate big contiguous chunks of memory after the system has
+ *   booted.
+ *
+ * Why is it needed?
+ *
+ *   Various devices on embedded systems have no scatter-getter and/or
+ *   IO map support and require contiguous blocks of memory to
+ *   operate.  They include devices such as cameras, hardware video
+ *   coders, etc.
+ *
+ *   Such devices often require big memory buffers (a full HD frame
+ *   is, for instance, more then 2 mega pixels large, i.e. more than 6
+ *   MB of memory), which makes mechanisms such as kmalloc() or
+ *   alloc_page() ineffective.
+ *
+ *   At the same time, a solution where a big memory region is
+ *   reserved for a device is suboptimal since often more memory is
+ *   reserved then strictly required and, moreover, the memory is
+ *   inaccessible to page system even if device drivers don't use it.
+ *
+ *   CMA tries to solve this issue by operating on memory regions
+ *   where only movable pages can be allocated from.  This way, kernel
+ *   can use the memory for pagecache and when device driver requests
+ *   it, allocated pages can be migrated.
+ *
+ * Driver usage
+ *
+ *   CMA should not be used by the device drivers directly. It is
+ *   only a helper framework for dma-mapping subsystem.
+ *
+ *   For more information, see kernel-docs in drivers/base/dma-contiguous.c
