Thank you Stephen. Thanks to your reply we were able to re-implement the 
functionality that was removed by the patch and evaluate it in the scenario we 
are looking at.  It works nicely and solves our security loophole, although we 
are aware of the stability problem that will arise if the binder's owning 
process dies.  Since we believe we have a good reason for needing to know the 
binder pedigree with respect to transfers, we will try to propose a fix for the 
problem that led to removal of the functionality.

Second, the SELinux binder_transfer_binder hook and binder transfer
permission originally supported the scenario you describe but we had to
change it, see:
