dde04eb116 binder: Add 'hwbinder' to the default devices
As AOSP master is now starting to require a hwbinder device, add it to
the the default Kconfig. Having the hwbinder device when not needed
shouldn't hurt anything either.

ac4812c5ff binder: Support multiple /dev instances
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.

777783e0ab staging: android: binder: move to the "real" part of the kernel
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.
