+=====================
+CMA Debugfs Interface
+=====================
+
+The CMA debugfs interface is useful to retrieve basic information out of the
+different CMA areas and to test allocation/release in each of the areas.
+
+Each CMA area represents a directory under <debugfs>/cma/, represented by
+its CMA name like below:
+
+	<debugfs>/cma/<cma_name>
+
+The structure of the files created under that directory is as follows:
+
+ - [RO] base_pfn: The base PFN (Page Frame Number) of the zone.
+ - [RO] count: Amount of memory in the CMA area.
+ - [RO] order_per_bit: Order of pages represented by one bit.
+ - [RO] bitmap: The bitmap of page states in the zone.
+ - [WO] alloc: Allocate N pages from that CMA area. For example::
+
+	echo 5 > <debugfs>/cma/<cma_name>/alloc
+
+would try to allocate 5 pages from the 'cma_name' area.
+
+ - [WO] free: Free N pages from that CMA area, similar to the above.
