OK, I guess these messages on their own without a wider context are not
that helpful. It is still surprising to see slab pages or non-movable
pages in the CMA area. The later might be an CMA allocation I guess but
slab pages shouldn't be there at all AFAIU.

OK, I will post an official patch. Even if CMA allocator decides to
report failures it can simply add the flag.

Thanks!
