b) DRM, TTM and it seems CMA all need a range allocator. There is a reasonable implementation in drm_mm.c, which since the original implementation has seen a fair bit of improvement. Should we try to move that to linux/lib ?
V4L2 and ALSA and what else also need contigous memory buffers, so I think the world would be a better place if the entire business of contigous allocation, buffer pinning and passing could be made abstract from the stuff that is using it, CMA, TTM and GEM alike.
