UMP ION import for Android UMM enablement

Registered by Chunsang Jeong

Enabling gralloc_ump for using ION in Android user space and ump ion import in kernel driver to share memory ION, which will be connected to dma_buf in kernel space.

Whiteboard

Headline: UMP ION import for Android UMM enablement
Acceptance: Initial import code is available on git.linaro.org

[chunsang 07Jun2012]: Overall implementation architecture
   user space==> gralloc_ump - ion_import (ump) - ion
   kernel=====================> ion_import (ump) - ion - dma_buf - allocator(e.g cma)

[chunsang 07Jun2012]: Initial code is available at git.linaro.org/people/gralloc-dev.git ion-import-v0 for gralloc_ump and ump user, and git.linaro.org/people/mali-dev.git ion-import for ump kernel driver.

[Annamalai 15Jun2012]: Would it be possible to integrated the Gralloc, and other related changes to Android Sub-System and test it once, this will ensure changes are valid and compatibile?

[chunsang 18Jun2012]: Needs to figure out what ION goes with dma_buf from Google people, because when ION completes dma_buf compatibility, it doesn't seem to import ion wrapper in ion kernel driver. Plus, aka exynos_ion needs to be moved for Android team or landing team for considering system wide memory sharing.

[chunsang 04Jul2012]: Separated ion kernel driver for Origen work to another blueprint. Need integration test with the result of that.
