Implement DRM backend to gralloc
The implementation of a DRM backend for gralloc (the Android graphics/multimedia user-space allocator) will enable us to validate the memory management work, especially with respect to the display driver (KMS has better support for HDMI and additional devices).

Whiteboard
[jesse-barker 2012-12-04] Laurent Pinchart has pushed his initial work, including support for the Renesas device he is working on to a set of repositories on github.

Next steps are to port the general parts of this work to member hardware, making framework and design updates as exposure to new hardware demands.

This might be a useful starting point:

Rob: But I think eventual goal would be to implement also composition bypass using drm-plane API (similar to the "sprite" patches in wayland proposed by Jesse Barnes)
Marcus: We could start with a simple fullscreen composition bypass, that way we don't need all the plane stuff up front. That would also allow us to do GLES benchmarking with improved performance over normal Android.
