I'm considering something like this for the next version:
Export the dma-buf heap functions declared in <linux/dma-heap.h> to allow
them to be used by kernel modules. This will enable drivers like the OP-TEE
driver, to utilize these interfaces for registering and managing their
specific DMA heaps.

Thanks,
Jens
