Hello Andrew,

Thanks for your comments. I will try to address them in the next round of
CMA patches.

You're sure these functions don't need EXPORT_SYMBOL()?  Maybe the
design is that only DMA core calls into here (if so, that's good).
Drivers should not call it, it is intended to be used by low-level DMA
code. Do you think that a comment about missing EXPORT_SYMBOL is 
required?

Best regards
