No, there isn't. Thanks. I'll move it to cma_debug.c

My fault. You are right.
I'm not sure how to do the output nice... I could use *ppos to point the
number of next list entry to read (like that is used in
read_page_owner()). But in this case the list could be changed before we
finish reading, it's bad.
Or we could use seq_files like in v1, iterating over buffer_list
entries. But seq_print_stack_trace() has to be added.
