Actually it is dependent on IPC_NS since it makes changes to
ipc/namespace.c which is
compiled only if CONFIG_IPC_NS.

There are a couple more implementations similar to this one.
https://lwn.net/Articles/577957/ and some submissions to AOSP derived
from that one
that introduce a generic registration function for namespace support [1], and
changes to binder to implement namespaces [2].

If this is really needed, then we should have a solution that works
for devices without
requiring IPC_NS or SYSVIPC. Also, we should not add binder-specific code to
ipc/namespace.c or include/linux/ipc_namespace.h.
