The C Binder driver exposes messages over netlink when transactions
fail, so that a userpace daemon can respond to processes with many
failing transactions.  

Ugh, now I regret letting binder use Netlink. Should have seen this
coming :/  

To be honest, I'm not entirely happy with what Binder is using netlink
for either, but it is what it is.

If we're both not happy let's take this opportunity to find a better
solution?

My understanding is that userspace is already using or looking into
using the netlink uapi that Binder exposes here. I don't know to what
extent; it's not used *that* much yet, but it may still be tricky to
change the uapi at this point.
