+	  This enables the Contiguous Memory Allocator which allows other
+	  subsystems to allocate big physically-contiguous blocks of memory.
+	  CMA reserves a region of memory and allows only movable pages to
+	  be allocated from it. This way, the kernel can use the memory for
+	  pagecache and when a subsystem requests for contiguous area, the
