Tested with on yakkety with mir 0.24 as well as mir trunk (0.25)

Applications tested working:
-mplayer
-viruskiller
-bomberclone
-tuxfootball
(and more)

If anyone wants to test this as well:
 Have a mir server running (yakkety 0.24 preferred)
   If the server is on a tty (MIR_SOCKET=/tmp/mir_socket)
   otherwise you'll be fine on the Mir on X server.
  Run the game you want: SDL_VIDEODRIVER=mir ./game_you_want

Any game that uses glew will not work sadly as there still needs a port there. This also isnt 100% coverage, not a 100% complete port. Some functions missing including custom cursors, relative mouse support and a few others.

X11 will still be picked before Mir, so this will not cause any issues there. You have to manually do SDL_VIDEODRIVER=mir if you want to run Mir over X. Or if you're on a Mir server only it'll just work.
