Useful to anyone wants to know the CMA usage on a platform.
CMA size is configurable and platforms tend to use different sizes
based on needs. The info don't appear in /proc/meminfo, so probably
dmsg grep is easy enough to know how much CMA memory being used on
a platform. That was my point.
I don't have strong argument here against not making it pr_debug
but was waiting for Marek's opinion on it.
