+ * 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
