This could use some explanation: Why can't android use the existing
format with alpha?  Does the GL get no input into the hardware formats
chosen?  Who chooses the format?  Would it work if we just didn't report
HAL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGBA_8888 for configs?

Also, I'd prefer to see the name ABGR8888 to the ridiculous _REV naming,
if we do need a new format.
