Hi Mike,

I think this is correct, but PHYS_PFN does x >> PAGE_SHIFT and then the
next line does x << PAGE_SHIFT, so I think we could combine those two
lines as:

selected_size = PAGE_ALIGN(memblock_phys_mem_size() * kvm_cma_resv_ratio / 100);

(I think that might technically change it from aligning down to aligning
up but I don't think 1 page matters here.)

Kind regards,
Daniel
