Export the dma-buf heap functions to allow them to be used by the OP-TEE driver. The OP-TEE driver wants to register and manage specific secure DMA heaps with it.

It's not clear to me why we would need to export those symbols.
As far as I know, heaps cannot be removed, and compiling them as module means that we would be able to remove them.
Now, if we don't expect the users to be compiled as modules, then we don't need to export these symbols at all.
Maybe I'm getting out of topic, sorry if its the case, but making that a hard rule seems very limiting. Didn't we said that a heap driver could be made to represent memory region on a remote device such as an eGPU ?

Am I missing something?
