Please send patches as proper emails (man git-format-patch; man 
git-send-email).

What you propose is turning cma reservations into something comparable 
to permanent boottime allocations. From the POV of the buddy, the pages 
are always allocated and cannot be repurposed for e.g., movable 
allocations until *actually* allocated via CMA.

I don't think we want this behavior upstream.
