It's more like a wish list but there were other things that took
priority. The arm64 DMA mapping code currently only supports swiotlb and
our next plan is for IOMMU mapping. But I would like parts of the DMA
IOMMU code under arch/arm to be made into a library (similar to the
lib/swiotlb.c) so that other architectures can easily make use of it.

Yet another feature is DMA cache coherency management (primarily
streaming DMA) and I have a patch but I want this driven via DT rather
than drivers or SoC code calling set_dma_ops explicitly (the bindings
definition is work in progress).

Anyway, I think the CMA support wouldn't interfere much with the above
and could be merged. If you have time, please feel free to send some
patches ;).
