-/* FIXME
- * Export an un-mangled function that just does
- *     return android::GraphicsEnv::getInstance().getDriverNamespace();
- * This allows libEGL to get the function pointer via dlsym, since it can't
- * directly link against libgui. In a future release, we'll fix this so that
- * libgui does not depend on graphics API libraries, and libEGL can link
- * against it. The current dependencies from libgui -> libEGL are:
- *  - the GLConsumer class, which should be moved to its own library
- *  - the EGLsyncKHR synchronization in BufferQueue, which is deprecated and
- *    will be removed soon.
