Apparently, new tools are needed in the community, as normal review
comments did not stop drivers/android/binder.c merge.

For example binder_transaction does not exactly look like a kernel
code, "TODO: fput" does not really invoke confidence, and ammount of
BUG_ON()s is quite amazing...

Amazingly, checkpatch (without --strict) only complains about long lines.

Seems like the test for "BUG" is (and always has been) commented out...

Well, checkpatch only tells half of storry.

Anyway worst problem is that there's no documentation of kernel<->user
interface binder provides, making understanding it hard/impossible.

Closest to documentation pointer is:

 * Based on, but no longer compatible with, the original
 * OpenBinder.org binder driver interface, which is:
