Hello,

I think that providing these information looks useful, but, we need better
implementation. As Laura said, it is better to use debugfs. And,
instead of re-implementing the wheel, how about using tracepoint
to print these information? See below comments.

Is there more elegant way to find buffer? This linear search overhead
would change system behaviour if there are lots of buffers.

So, we would fail to allocate CMA memory if we can't allocate buffer
for debugging. I don't think it makes sense. With tracepoint,
we don't need to allocate buffer in runtime.

Thanks.
