Is it actually hooked up to the selftest framework? Please make sure
it actually runs under the kselftest framework.

The answer to both of these is that Ion is now doing heap enumeration
differently. Using heap types as arguments to heap ids never really
made much sense since it was conflating heap types with actual
instances of heaps. The ion test module which tried to set up one
of each type of heap was deleted.

There really isn't any need to test multiple heap types anyway.
This is a buffer sharing test and the underlying allocation
doesn't have anything to do with that. Let's just get rid of the
different heap types and just use the system heap which should
always be available. While we're at it, just drop specifying the
allocation size on the command line as well and use something
hardcoded.

Thanks,
Laura
