So, any process will be trusted? This looks so Android-centric. Please come
with a better way to define 'trusted'.

On a typical UNIX system a used has multiple supplementary GIDs (which
can be used to allow access to the devices) which have no relationship
to the process effective GID. On a multi-user machine it might be
logical that fastrpc nodes have separate group-id and group's read/write
permissions. But then each of the users has their own unique 'effective'
GID. Which of those should be using for computing the 'trusted' status?
