LWN tells me we don't need carve outs any more[1]: "CMA now relies on
compaction and no longer uses a carved-out memory region."
So why do we need this?

Convention is vendor,thing and 'dma_heap' is not a vendor. Also, '-' is
preferred over '_'.

Page size depends on Linux configuration. And 'order' is very much a
Linuxism.
