We were working with a kernel compat layer. However this wasn't
encouraged by the Android developers who would prefer a userspace binder
compat.
The changes in this patch set fix the kernel interface so that it will
work with the yet to be developed userspace wrapper.
Some support for 64/32 systems has already been integrated - see ashmem.
