This is a *very early RFC* (it builds, that's all I'll say :)

go down the rabit hole of trying to adapt the Android userland
code to get this fully validated.
This patchset tries to implement the per-heap devices for ION.
The main benefit is that it avoids multiplexing heap operations
through the /dev/ion interface, and allows for each heap to have
its own permissions/sepolicy rules.
Feedback would be greatly appreciated!
thanks

So it occurs to me if this is going to be a new ABI
all together maybe we should just declare a new allocation ioctl
to be used with it. We can keep the old ioctls around
for legacy use cases and maybe eventually delete them
and just use the new allocation ioctl with the new
split heaps.
Thanks,
Laura
