Add a new module parameter 'devices', that can be used to specify the names of the binder device nodes we want to populate in /dev. Each device node has its own context manager, and is therefore logically separated from all the other device nodes. The config option CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES can be used to set the default value of the parameter. This approach was favored over using IPC namespaces, mostly because we require a single process to be a part of multiple binder contexts, which seemed harder to achieve with namespaces.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
