Hi, Let me tell you that to run Android on Linux kernel you need Android specific driver to Linux kernel like.
Belows is feature of an Android based kernel. 01). GoldFish : Qemutrace , FB Driver/RTC/Power/Nand/MMC/Events/tty/ audio for godlfish 02). pmem : Android pmem allocator 03). yaffs : mtdif2 04). kernel debugger 05). android USB : USB Gadget driver for android. 06). HAL : TI Wifi Control Functions , Bluetooth (RFCOMM-L2CAP Socket) 07). Android Shared Memory (ASHMEM) 08). Paranoid Network 09). Binder: mmap fix , more offset validation 10). Power : User Wake Lock , Wake Lock , Early Suspend , FB Eearlysuspend 11). Logger Subsystem 12). Low Memory Killer: /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj and minfree 11). Etc : Timed GPIO / Timed Output Above is an difference between Normal Linux kernel and Android Kernel.Above Driver need to integrate to run Android on Linux kernel.
