Hi Roman,

I currently have a device with 8GB Zone normal and 600MB of CMA. We have a
slightly different implementation and use up all the available CMA region.
i.e. going forward, we intend to set the ratio to 100 or even higher.

We have other devices with 4GB or less memory but I don't have the CMA
size atm. Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks!
