`kernels_[blitType]` yields a null function pointer in `KernelBlitManager::initHeap` due to `KernelBlitManager::createProgram` not initializing all the kernels because of broken layout invariants. `KernBlitManager::NumBlitKernels` has two possible return values: `BlitTotal, and BlitLinearTotal` which are sentinels. These sentinels are used in `KernelBlitManager::createProgram` to initialize the `kernels_` array. It correctly initializes `[0, NumBlitKernels())`, but `InitHeap` is > `NumBlitKernels`, so the `InitHeap` kernel is not loaded. Thus, when images are disabled, and a kernel has an `hidden_heap_v1` entry, the `InitHeap` blitkernel is not loaded, and `kernelBlitManager::initHeap` subsequently gets a null pointer. The kernel always has such `hidden_heap_v1` descriptor entry at -O0, but I believe it's possible (unconfirmed) for this situation to occur in other circumstances. The fix is simply to ensure the `InitHeap` enumeration has a numeric value *less than* `BlitLinearTotal`. n.b. This bug does not exist on the 5.7 release, but it looks like that's by chance.
