+ help
+ 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
+ allocated pages are migrated away to serve the contiguous request.

+ help
+ Turns on debug messages in CMA. This produces KERN_DEBUG
+ messages for every CMA call as well as various messages while
+ processing calls such as dma_alloc_from_contiguous().
+ This option does not affect warning and error messages.
