That was actually my original idea as we can easily force the CMA allocation granule to be PMD_SIZE too. I didn't implement it as I thought there were not much interest in the end (and also as contiguous.c is always using PAGE_SIZE granularity). But now as I have implemented a specific pool (and do not use contiguous.c as originally planned), if you believe it is important for the VPR driver, let me see if I can extend the support in a V2. -- Vincent
