Phase 1 of enabling dri2video support for xbmc

Registered by Ilias Biris

There is work carried out recently to extend dri2 for video in order to push the decision about using overlays or GPU blit to the xorg driver. The details are in https://wiki.linaro.org/OfficeofCTO/MemoryManagement?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=linux-video.pdf (presentation) and http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg.devel/26621

This blueprint outlines the work for delivering the groundwork needed for enabling dri2video in xbmc.
