Thats is a purely arm specific symbol which should not be
used in common code.  Nevermind that there generally should
be no good reason for it.

This looks completely broken.  Why would you care at what exact
place the fd is placed?  Oh, because you share an array with fds
with userspace, which is a hell of a bad idea, and then maninpulate
that buffer mapped to userspace from kernel threads.

I think we just need to rm -rf drivers/android/binder*.c and be done
with it, as this piece of crap should never have been merged to start
with.
