This is a bad idea. You're increasing this heap for all users of the default configuration (which on 64-bit ARM is everyone, really). Many of the devices don't require the CMA except maybe for the occasional very small buffer. Most implement some form of IOMMU support that removes the need for large amounts of contiguous physical memory. I think it's a better idea to have some bootloader append a cma=128 to the kernel command-line if necessary. Thierry
