Here is another pass at the dma-buf heaps patchset Andrew and I
have been working on which tries to destage a fair chunk of ION
functionality.

The patchset implements per-heap devices which can be opened
directly and then an ioctl is used to allocate a dmabuf from the
heap.

The interface is similar, but much simpler then IONs, only
providing an ALLOC ioctl.

Also, I've provided relatively simple system and cma heaps.

I've booted and tested these patches with AOSP on the HiKey960
using the kernel tree here:
  https://git.linaro.org/people/john.stultz/android-dev.git/log/?h=dev/dma-buf-heap

And the userspace changes here:
  https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/device/linaro/hikey/+/909436

Compared to ION, this patchset is missing the system-contig,
carveout and chunk heaps, as I don't have a device that uses
those, so I'm unable to do much useful validation there.
Additionally we have no upstream users of chunk or carveout,
and the system-contig has been deprecated in the common/andoid-*
kernels, so this should be ok.

I've also removed the stats accounting for now, since any such
accounting should be implemented by dma-buf core or the heaps
themselves.


New in v5:
* Actually not much that I'm submitting now. I've backed out the
  large order page allocation I added in v4 as using it with the
  pagelist structure in the helper buffers ended up leaking
  memory unless we split them, and then we didn't see any
  performance improvement.
* I have spent a fair amount of time looking at allocation
  performance compared to ION, and I do have a patch stack
  that performs equal or better then ION (utilizing large order
  allocations, sgtables, and a page pool). However, Andrew
  convinced me that the extra complexity of these optimizations
  would distract reviewers from the core functionality, and we
  can submit those changes afterwards without any interface
  impact. WIP patches can be found here:
    https://git.linaro.org/people/john.stultz/android-dev.git/log/?h=dev/dma-buf-heap-WIP
* Minor cleanups


Outstanding concerns:
* Need to better understand various secure heap implementations.
  Some concern that heap private flags will be needed, but its
  also possible that dma-buf heaps can't solve everyone's needs,
  in which case, a vendor's secure buffer driver can implement
  their own dma-buf exporter. So I'm not too worried here.

Thoughts and feedback would be greatly appreciated!

thanks
