I believe we discussed this topic in length in previous version but 
there was no conclusion on it.

The commit desc might be a bit misleading, we are not actually forced to 
use specific CMA buffers, as we use IOMMU to map these to device 
addresses. For example IPU1/IPU2 use internally exact same memory 
addresses, iommu is used to map these to specific CMA buffer.

CMA buffers are mostly used so that we get aligned large chunk of memory 
which can be mapped properly with the limited IOMMU OMAP family of chips 
have. Not sure if there is any sane way to get this done in any other 
manner.
