My kernel parm has cmma=on.
Is there a way to display that it is actually active?

I'm sure cmm.ko is what has been called CMM-1.  CMMA has been called CMM-2.

From a post in 2009 by Christian Borntraeger makes me assume CMM-2 lite is 
still there:

You also have to distinguish CMM-2 full (SLES10) and CMM-2 lite.

We were not able to bring the full CMM-2 version upstream, but the lite version 
is upstream. So the work in z/VM and hardware is not wasted.

CMM-2 lite also uses CMMA, so every recent kernel can use the CMMA facility.
CMM2-lite uses only two page states (used vs. unused) while the CMM2 in
SLES10
uses 4 page states.
