+1, I guess here's my shot at teasing apart...
In current mir parlance, (for better or worse, probably worse) a platform (mg::Platform) is current "a gpu and an output".
So currently,
"android" == gralloc + hwc
"mesa" == gbm + drm
If we separated mg::Platform out into GpuPlatform and DisplayPlatform [1], then what is going on falls into place easily:
DisplayPlatforms are hwc, drm, X, nested, offscreen
GpuPlatforms are gralloc, gbm
[1] or similar names
