I personally don't find it that useless. Moreover, almost all gfx APIs at
the platform level expose such a function so I think it's natural to wrap
them in a platform-independent API.

I agree from a platform-independent point of view, although we could make
"official" the use of
/* ask the system driver for a list of graphics hardware drivers */
if (system_driver->gfx_drivers)
list_entry = system_driver->gfx_drivers();
else
list_entry = _gfx_driver_list;
Do you have any suggestion to fix that ?
