What do you think about renaming ion_allocation_data.unused to heap_id and adding a flag instead? It's adding cruft to a staging API, but it might soften the transition. The "old way" could get completely removed just before destaging. Just a thought.
Sounds confusing, backwards compatibility in staging just doesn't seem like the right thing to do.
Well, fair enough. It's going to cause a bit of pain - libion could probably isolate most Android users. Laura patched that in AOSP last time around, but I don't know how that went (or how strongly Google feel about kernel ABI changes).
Thanks, -Brian
