ACK. I will add more of this info in the next patch version.

The advantage to having the state visible to the reserved_mem code is that
we can skip adding the DT node to the resrved_mem array since it actually
won't be used.

If this is still not preferred, another option would be to use a helper
function  in contiguous.c to call dma_contiguous_early_fixup() for the
reserved_mem code. This way, "size_cmdline" can be checked internally within
the file and it can call dma_contiguous_early_fixup based on that.
