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.
