I will change that

My understanding of alloc_chrdev_region() is that major number is chosen
dynamically but I don't understand the link with device node, sorry.

I had to write a test by myself:
https://git.linaro.org/people/benjamin.gaignard/ion_test_application.git/log/?h=one_device_per_heap

Laura have tried to push a test VGEM but I believe it hasn't be
accepted yet (I will check)

Split /dev/ion into multiple nodes is one of the task listed in
staging/android/TODO
file before been able to de-stage ion.

Since it has been a big bang in ion ABI on 4.12 and the fact that
ion.h is still in
staging/android/uapi/ directory I do believe that userland is still unstable.
I hope this kind of patch will help to clarify what is still need to
be done to de-stage ion
even if this patch is NACK-ed we can at least the item from the TODO list.
