Aman, All,

[sorry, I hit 'send' too early; see more review below...]

If the situation is better now, then please address that in the commit
log. If not, please see the the aforementioned threads for suggested
improvements (like making the EGL/GLES/OPENMAX provider conditional).

Please note that there is one big question, about libfdt, in one of
those threads, which must be addressed too (although it does not seem to
be AArch64-related?).

For now, I've marked this patch as changes requested.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
