I realize this is just a workaround (and the above 31M cma memory fragmentation is ugly), but we should definitely bump CMA allocation space: definitely 32M (since that's what upstream default to) but if 64M solves a problem you have at the moment (until we sort out the driver issue), i'm not opposing to such a change - after all, you are the main consumer of generic/arm64 (all other boards are either armhf or have their own topic kernel) so if there's a workaround we can apply to make your life easier, i don't see why we shouldn't do it.

But, at least in the case of the HP m400, it slows down boot enough that MAAS' default timeout will expire before completing deployment. [*] Observed on a HiSilicon D06 w/ SMMU disabled in the BIOS, as well as an HP m400 (APM X-Gene) cartridge - although, not on another one that - in theory - should be identical.
