Mir on the Phone

Registered by Robert Ancell

This blueprint is mean to capture the elements for Mir which are needed in order to support UnityNext for a productizable small screen device (e.g. phone) release. Specifically this captures those elements post "alpha integration" of UnityNext on Mir. This means adding slightly more advanced features/function as well as "industry standard" optimization required to make a phone product.

Acceptance criteria
#1) have a performance comparable (w/in 15%) of surfaceflinger (comparison should be apples-to-apples as much as possible, method tbd)
#2) Mir supporting system composition with robust application switching/life cycle support, should be able to run 12 hours repeatedly launching, switching & closing applications using native applications

Whiteboard

in general - mir reporting means committed to info/data from mir, so use explicit interface definition (atho adhoc logging changes will be allowed for dev, shouldn't end up in production....if so, go create an interface)
