If you worry about these pools being taken out of the total memory and
prefer to have a way to avoid it, I was thinking about another
build-time mode for the allocator - one where there's no pool but it
just allocates chunks using dma_alloc_coherent() like before and pool
size is ignored. Does it sound good?
