Oh good, I'm glad you considered it :-)

Aren't these two things in contradiction? If they're easily reclaimed
then they aren't "reserved" in any detrimental way. And if you don't
want them to be reclaimed, then you need them to be reserved...

The approach you have here assigns the chunk of memory as a reserved
CMA region which the kernel is going to try not to use too - similar
to the CPA pool.

I suppose it's a balance depending on how much you're willing to wait
for migration on the allocation path. CPA has the potential to get you
faster allocations, but the downside is you need to make it a little
more "greedy".

Cheers,
-Brian
