Unfortunately, I don't have it and with quick search only found "N9 MER" 
kernels, where the Aegis part (which included the inheritance logic) has 
been removed. It had many other things too, which made it a bit complex 
(there are some related messages by me on kernel mailing lists).

I have been out the picture since project was canceled and I didn't save 
the kernel git. I suppose Nokia is obliged to distribute the source, but 
I guess it comes as big tar ball with all git history lost...

I suppose someone could still have it as git repository somewhere?
