	The CMA heap instantiation was initially developed by having the contiguous DMA code call into the CMA heap to create a new instance every time a reserved memory area is probed. Turning the CMA heap into a module would create a dependency of the kernel on a module, which doesn't work. Let's turn the logic around and do the opposite: store all the reserved memory CMA regions into the contiguous DMA code, and provide an iterator for the heap to use when it probes.

	In order to create a CMA heap instance for each CMA region found in the system, we need to register each of these instances. While it would appear trivial, the CMA regions are created super early in the kernel boot process, before most of the subsystems are initialized. Thus, we can't just create an exported function to create a heap from the CMA region being initialized. What we can do however is create a two-step process, where we collect all the CMA regions into an array early on, and then when we initialize the heaps we iterate over that array and create the heaps from the CMA regions we collected.
