Oh, so you mean you add a function to create a client to the platform
device implementing
the heap and the export this function?

heap implements:

foo_create_client();

driver calls:

foo_create_client() ?

Well I'll have a bunch of DMA streams to / from an FPGA that contains
DMA engines & accelerators. To that end
my userland software would allocate say 64 buffers, hand them over to
driver A to queue/deque them.

In future I might want to share these buffers between streams and with
other peripherals on the same bus,
which is why I looked at ION.

Thanks,

Moritz
