Android-x86 is the first open source project
that brought Mesa/DRM to the Android platform.
Refer to:

http://sourceforge.net/p/android-x86/external_libdrm/
http://sourceforge.net/p/android-x86/external_mesa/
http://sourceforge.net/p/android-x86/external_drm_gralloc/ (Drm based
gralloc HAL)

It's glad to see drm_gralloc is now a part of
AOSP marshmallow release.
Google Pixel C is probably the first (and only?) one
android product that uses it.

We have a devel group working on that.
If you are interesting, I can invite you to join.
