Yup.

The Freescale kernel hackery is really hurting us. With the kernel in
the alpha/beta branch, we need 144 MB for CMA. I am sure this is due
to something dumb in the thousands of new FSL kernel patches, but I
haven't had the time to track this down.

The daisy kernel worked on that board (with full screen video) with a
CMA of 64 MB, but unfortunately the newer user space does *not* work
with the daisy kernel. Brilliant stuff, that.

It was 35, IIRC.
