Three main pieces I can think of right now:

  1. Buffer type: In progress now: https://code.launchpad.net/~raof/mir/make-shmbuffer-into-common-code/+merge/290397

  2. GL support: Should be easy as resolving Mesa bug 1543952

  3. Mode setting: The greatest point of contention as the traditional (and only existing) solution of fbdev is also considered deprecated. So we kind of are waiting for newer kernel features that don't yet exist, or need to settle on using existing but deprecated kernel features. Assuming Mesa hasn't already deprecated support for them too.
