[$] Improvements for the contiguous memory allocator

The contiguous memory allocator (CMA) is a kernel subsystem that attempts to address this problem, but it has never worked as well as some would like. Two sessions in the memory-management track at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit looked at how CMA can be improved; the first looked at providing guaranteed allocations, while the second addressed some inefficiencies in CMA.
