[PATCH 0/2] ION dummy driver

[John Stultz]

The ION subsystem requires something register it along with the
various heaps that may be available on a system in order to work
(Otherwise no /dev/ion is created).

This can make it difficult to play with. Thus I've created this
simple dummy driver which allocates and registers some basic heaps.

I've been using this dummy driver, along with Colin's unit tests
and test driver, to be able to validate basic functionality on
a number of architectures and it was handy to chase down a few
issues before ION was submitted to staging.

If you want to play with all of this, Colin's unit tests can be
found in AOSP under the system/core/libion directory, but if you
want to try to use them in a non-Android environment, I've
mirrored that directory and added some changes to get it building
under Ubuntu here:

Greg: I realize this is after the usual -rc6 cutoff for staging,
so no pressure if you want to defer this for 3.15, but I saw you've
picked up a few things recently, so I figured I'd send it out so
I'm not just sitting on it while we wait for LCA to finish.

thanks
