From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The Android binder code has been "stable" for many years now. No matter
what comes in the future, we are going to have to support this API, so
might as well move it to the "real" part of the kernel as there's no
real work that needs to be done to the existing code.

This was discussed in the Android miniconf at the Plumbers conference.
If anyone has any objections to this, please let me know, otherwise I'm
queueing this up for 3.19-rc1
