version 4:
- add a configuration flag to switch between legacy Ion misc device
  and one device per heap version.
  This change has been suggested after Laura talks at XDC 2017.

version 3:
- change ion_device_add_heap prototype to return a possible error.

version 2:
- simplify ioctl check like propose by Dan
- make sure that we don't register more than ION_DEV_MAX heaps.

Until now all ion heaps are addressing using the same device "/dev/ion".
This way of working doesn't allow to give access rights (for example with
SElinux rules) per heap.
This series propose to have (under configuartion flag) one device "/dev/ionX"
per heap. Query heaps informations will be possible on each device node but
allocation request will only be possible if heap_mask_id match with device minor number.

That enable  thsi new flag change Ion ABI because:
- device name change
- allocation must be done on the correct device/heap.
- device major number will not be the same and that could impact init scripts.
