The big question is whether Android still requires a custom Linux
kernel. I know years ago it did, and the first batch of changes Google
proposed weren't admitted into the Linux kernel. I heard that they
modified their proposal, and that subsequently they did get changes into
the official kernel. Whether it now has *everything* Android needs? I
don't know.

Google "Android on Linux" and you'll probably find a few relevant links.
