Subject: RFE: Make ANDROID_BINDER_IPC tristate

Hi,

Programs like Waydroid allows people to run Android in a Linux container
but it needs ANDROID_BINDER_IPC to do that.
It would be really helpful if ANDROID_BINDER_IPC could be dynamically
loaded when someone wants to use Waydroid (and unload when no longer
needed). But currently ANDROID_BINDER_IPC is a 'bool' so either you have
it at all times or you will never have it.

So hereby the request to make ANDROID_BINDER_IPC tristate so people that
want to use it can load it when needed.

Debian has a patch to make it tristate since 2018, but it would be so
much more useful to have it tristate upstream.

Cheers,
  Diederik
