+Simple Allocator Framework
+
+Simple Allocator offer a single ioctl SA_IOC_ALLOC to allocate buffers
+on dedicated memory regions and export them as a dmabuf file descriptor.
+Using dmabuf file descriptor allow to share this memory between processes
+and/or import it into other frameworks like v4l2 or drm/kms (prime).
+When userland wants to free the memory only a call to close() in needed
+so it could done even without knowing that buffer has been allocated by
+simple allocator ioctl.
+
+Each memory regions will be seen as a filein /dev/.
+For example CMA regions will exposed has /dev/cmaX.
+
+Implementing a simple allocator
+-------------------------------
+
+Simple Allocator provide helpers functions to register/unregister an
+allocator:
+- simple_allocator_register(struct sa_device *sadev)
+  Register simple_allocator_device using sa_device structure where name,
+  owner and allocate fields must be set.
+
+- simple_allocator_unregister(struct sa_device *sadev)
+  Unregister a simple allocator device.
+
+Using Simple Allocator /dev interface example
+---------------------------------------------
+
+This example of code allocate a buffer on the first CMA region (/dev/cma0)
+before mmap and close it.

+	struct simple_allocate_data data;
+	int fd = open("/dev/cma0", O_RDWR, 0);
+	int ret;
+	void *mem;
+
+	if (fd < 0) {
+		printf("Can't open /dev/cma0\n");
+		return;
+	}
+
+	memset(&data, 0, sizeof(data));
+
+	data.length = LENGTH;
+	data.flags = O_RDWR | O_CLOEXEC;
+
+	ret = ioctl(fd, SA_IOC_ALLOC, &data);
+	if (ret) {
+		printf("Buffer allocation failed\n");
+		goto end;
+	}
+
+	mem = mmap(0, LENGTH, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, data.fd, 0);
+	if (mem == MAP_FAILED) {
+		printf("mmap failed\n");
+	}
+
+	memset(mem, 0xFF, LENGTH);
+	munmap(mem, LENGTH);
+
+	printf("test simple allocator CMA OK\n");
+end:
