This allows drivers who don't want to create their own
DMA-BUF exporter to be able to allocate DMA-BUFs directly
from existing DMA-BUF Heaps.

There is some concern that the premise of DMA-BUF heaps is
that userland knows better about what type of heap memory
is needed for a pipeline, so it would likely be best for
drivers to import and fill DMA-BUFs allocated by userland
instead of allocating one themselves, but this is still
up for debate.

The main design goal of having DMA-heaps in the first place is to avoid per driver allocation and this is not necessary because userland know better what type of memory it wants.

The background is rather that we generally want to decouple allocation from having a device driver connection so that we have better chance that multiple devices can work with the same memory.

I once create a prototype which gives userspace a hint which DMA-heap to user for which device: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-media/patch/20230123123756.401692-2-christian.koenig@xxxxxxx/

Problem is that I don't really have time to look into it and maintain that stuff, but I think from the high level design that is rather the general direction we should push at.

Regards,
Christian.
