You don't need to do anything. If the architecture supports cma (ARM does, but I'm
not sure if it is supported for x86_64) and it is enabled in the kernel, then you
have it. All you have to do is to add cma=<memsize> to the kernel options to
reserve CMA memory and when vb2 allocates buffer memory it will automatically use the
CMA memory for it.
