The current ARM code doesn't currently fall back but perhaps more 
importantly, the entire point of CMA is to be able to get allocations 
that are larger than the buddy allocator can handle. I'm not sure how 
likely it would be that if a CMA allocation failed the buddy allocator 
would be able to handle it successfully.
