I think the key patch (from LP 1632045) was pulled in as of 4.4.0-51.72.  As 
far as I can tell, the CMA debugging is not in ubuntu (actually, I'm not 
positive it was even pulled in upstream, but that's less immediately 
important). I will continue to poke, but I don't think there's a good way even 
to determine, without a kdump, where that memory is in use.  I think the only 
thing to do is try to work around the problem by devoting more memory to the 
CMA by specifying a boot parameter like cma=50g for example. That would at 
least greatly alleviate  the problem, though not fix it. To fix it, I think we 
will need to arrange for a kdump from a failing system and then see exactly 
where the memory is in use.

I will keep asking my colleagues; however, that's where I am for now.
