qemu & hardware gfx acceleration

[John Stultz]

So the Google Android team just posted this:
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/hsDu/~3/OCt1AQzfyWI/faster-emulator-with-better-hardware.html

Which shows their device emulator running w/ hardware acceleration.  
Since I know they started with qemu, I was curious if there was any 
details as to if these sorts of changes were making it back upstream to 
qemu, or if qemu had its own plans for hardware acceleration?

Unfortunately there's little technical details in the post above.  The 
video is clearly running on OS X, so I'm not sure if this will also be 
usable w/ Linux hosts, but I could be wrong there.

thanks
