Hi all -

I was looking through some of the latest sources relating to 64-bit Android 
support, hoping someone who is smarter with the kernel than I am could 
confirm or deny something?

Does anyone know what the minimum version of the Android kernel is to 
properly run under 64-bit (ARM64 or x86_64)? It looks to me like the 3.10 
branch is required here whereas the 3.4 branch can still be used with 
Lollipop on 32-bit only devices, does that seem correct?

I'm assuming a 3.10 minimum because I saw some 32-bit compat shims in the 
ashmem and binder driver sources. If this is case, can anyone tell me what 
the other major changes were to the Android drivers to properly support 
64-bit user space? I'd like to compile a list of the highlights.

Thanks!
