Afaik everyone's hwc driver for surface flinger is a blob and only
code-dropped for nexus devices since google requires that. So can't
really use those one-offs to develop new stuff since it's a fork of
the internal one and because it's only published way at the end of a
product development cycle. Imo there's not really any reason for this
except the usual "valuable ip, must hide" reflex, and I'm hopeful that
with atomic we might actually see a somewhat sane hwc in google's repo
and maybe could use that ...
