Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/5] android: binder: Add allocator selftest

Hi Geert,

This selftest can't run until userspace has called mmap. Since it is
hooked into ioctl, it's probably not worth the effort of making it a
module, since ioctl will have to check at runtime whether the selftest
module has been loaded, which would add overhead even when the test is
not enabled.

Thanks,
Sherry
