should we make sSelectiveJniRegistrationEnabled a capital B Boolean?  Set it to
null as default, then do like:

public static boolean isSelectiveJniRegistrationEnabled() {
    if (sSelectiveJniRegistrationEnabled == null)
sSelectiveJniRegistrationEnabled = false;
    return sSelectiveJniRegistrationEnabled;
}

public static void enableSelectiveJniRegistration() {
    assert sSelectiveJniRegistrationEnabled == null;
    sSelectiveJniRegistrationEnabled = true;
}

Then we'll be able to catch regressions if we don't set this correctly.

Good call. Done.
