Calling it "pages" is weird.  I immediately read it as a `struct page **'. 
Drop the 's' please.  Or call it `start_page' if you wish to retain the
"we're dealing with more than one page here" info.

And `nr_pages' is a better name than `count'.  

And `in_cma' seems rather ...  brief.  And it breaks the convention that
interface identifiers start with the name of the subsystem.  Look at the rest
of cma.h: cma_get_base(), cma_get_size() cma_declare_contiguous(), etc -
let's not break that.

A bit of documentation would be nice.

Is this actually needed?  If there's no good reason for the test, let's leave
it out because it will just be hiding bugs in the caller.

Apart from those cosmeticish things, no objections from me.
