SurfaceFlinger is an abstraction for the 2D compositor. It's a bit confusing now looking at the source because the hardware abstraction is not adequate, which makes it impossible to plug in a V4L2 driver without ripping up a bunch of code. We know this is an issue, and for the Donuts release, we are planning to improve the abstraction. After that, the V4L2 driver will sit under SurfaceFlinger. We expect to that someone will contribute a V4L2 glue layer for SurfaceFlinger in the Donuts timeframe.
