This seems harder than initially thought. The Android userspace is
intertwined with ashmem in various ways (security policies, apps etc).
There were various concerns with old apps using /dev/ashmem directly
without going through library layers and that such apps could not be
upgraded. Various approaches were tried to work around this by
different folks to varying degrees of effect. Also, I am no longer
with the Android team at Google, but I continue to work with them
upstream.

Fwiw, I will continue reviewing this and other Android code from my
side. Thanks.
