Honestly, I'd like to see a real example. This is fine for testing,
but I'd like to see something a bit more real, and a bit less special
than the Android "binder" WIP that comes a few patches later.

Would there be some kind of real driver or something that people could
use as a example of a real piece of code that actually does something
meaningful?
