Basically, you would like to pass on a preferred start address and the
allocation could just fail if a contig range is not available from such
a starting address ?
Then why not just change cma_alloc() to take a new argument 'start_pfn'.
Why create a new but almost similar allocator ?
But then I am wondering why this could not be done in the arm64 platform
code itself operating on a CMA area reserved just for tag storage. Unless
this new allocator has other usage beyond MTE, this could be implemented
in the platform itself.
