Bug Description

When enabling jockey support for the PowerVR SGX driver (OMAP 4), I noticed that one common class is used by both the nvidia and fglrx drivers, that deals with update-alternatives (to check if the driver is enabled).

To be able to use the same functions on this driver, we'd first need to enable the nvidia-common package to armel and armhf, and also export a method to retrieve the open driver alternative for gles.
