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.

Where does one find the canonical documentation of the user-space API?

There really is only one "canonical" thing, and that is in the libbinder
code in the Android userspace repository.  And it's not really
"documentation" so much as, "a C file that interacts with the ioctls in
the binder kernel code" :(

Think of this as just a random character driver with some funny ioctls
that will never get really documented as there is only one user of it.

This is not random character driver, it is communication mechanism. It
should _not_ be a character driver.

And it should really be documented.
