What do you think about a "priv" field in ion_platform_heap instead?  My concern is the ion_device is global to all of ion but the data you are trying to get to is really heap specific.  What if you wanted two different contiguous heaps?  There'd be no way to plumb that through ion.

For CMA, you are using (for ex), dma_alloc_coherent().. so pool
wouldn't need to poke into other data, but would need the 'struct
device *'

possibly the device ptr could be stuffed in 'struct ion_heap' or somewhere else?
