This patch adds system heap to the dma-buf heaps framework. This allows applications to get a page-allocator backed dma-buf for non-contiguous memory. This code is an evolution of the Android ION implementation, so thanks to its original authors and maintainters: Rebecca Schultz Zavin, Colin Cross, Laura Abbott, and others!

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
