Is having support for multiple regions a bad thing? Frankly,
removing this support will change code from reading context passed
as argument to code reading context from global variable. Nothing
is gained; functionality is lost.

What is bad IMHO is making them the default, which forces the board

I see those as orthogonal problems. The code can have support for
multiple contexts but by default use a single global context exported
as cma_global variable (or some such).
And I'm not arguing against having “contiguous allocation parameters
tuned automatically to just work on most boards”. I just don't see
the reason to delete functionality that is already there, does not
add much code and can be useful.
