Here's my dsa_log (which is repeated many times and 400kB total)..

dsa_area handle 0:
  max_total_segment_size: 18446744073709551615
  total_segment_size: 15740928
  refcnt: 2
  pinned: f
  segment bins:
    segment bin 0 (at least -2147483648 contiguous pages free):
      segment index 2, usable_pages = 256, contiguous_pages = 0, mapped at 0x7f56ff9d5000
      segment index 0, usable_pages = 0, contiguous_pages = 0, mapped at 0x7f56ffbd6840
    segment bin 3 (at least 4 contiguous pages free):
      segment index 7, usable_pages = 510, contiguous_pages = 6, mapped at 0x7f56ff0b4000
      segment index 6, usable_pages = 510, contiguous_pages = 6, mapped at 0x7f56ff2b4000
      segment index 5, usable_pages = 510, contiguous_pages = 5, mapped at 0x7f56ff4b4000
      segment index 4, usable_pages = 510, contiguous_pages = 5, mapped at 0x7f56ff6b4000
      segment index 3, usable_pages = 255, contiguous_pages = 6, mapped at 0x7f56ff8b4000
      segment index 1, usable_pages = 255, contiguous_pages = 6, mapped at 0x7f56ffad6000
    segment bin 10 (at least 512 contiguous pages free):

Note negative pages.  Let me know if you want more of it (span descriptors?)
