It's nice to see that CMA is gaining another client in mainline Linux 
kernel.
I also like the idea of adding CONFIG_DMA_CMA for DMA-mapping related CMA
use to let others to use alloc_contig_range() interface.

However I noticed that You have almost copied the whole drivers/base.c for
separate use with PPC64 KVM. Is this really necessary? I think it should be
possible to isolate some common code, which plays with contiguous region
management and use it for both alloc_contig_range() clients (dma-mapping and
ppc64 kvm).
