The VC4 CMA value will help get a 1920x1080 screen brought up by
default, which is clearly needed.

It wouldn't let you get any 3D working at that resolution -- you have
16MB of binner, 8MB of fbcon, then at least 16MB for your
double-buffered application's framebuffers, without even any other GL
storage counted (1MB of stream uploader, whatever textures you've got).
I would also r-b a patch that set the CMA to 64 or 128MB.  But then,
this defconfig is only really for kernel build testing, and not used by
any distributions that I know of.
