I think this indicates the commit message is unclear.

Part of it is that the config is inverted from the description. The
patch doesn't enable the 32bit legacy binder ABI on 32bit systems, it
just allows the option to be unselected, so that the 64bit ABI will be
used on 32bit systems.

Conceptually I don't have an objection to the change (though maybe try
to rework the commit message), but I don't have anything to actually
test it on right now, so I'm hesitant to ack it.

thanks
