Public bug reported:

As a result of bug 1434379, QA wanted to check if there could be a way
(cmdline/API) to know, from the location-service itself, when the GPS
hardware is active or not.

Basically the only reliable way to know that is by checking
/system/bin/logcat, and retrieving the GPS HAL logs.

Having such call could allow us to create regression tests that could
check for bug 1434379 (and similar ones).
