Also note the development on MM: Jesse is preparing a GIT tree to contain the patches available, including components from the Video-Multimedia side (eg OMAP DRM driver (maybe others too), xf86-video-omap open source xorg driver). The tree can be made available as a meta-pkg for the Linaro main release in September (add-on "use at own risk" since all this is work still in progress and not upstreamed completely). Details on the tree and how to use it will come during September.
note that the OMAP DRM driver will be merged into the TI landing team kernel since this is what we plan to use for 11.10/11.11 releases. note that what will be in the LT tree is the OMAP DRM *without* the GEM stuff since we are not planning to use the new open source X driver in this timeframe.
fwiw we were talking about having some sort of UMM overlay/add-on on top of base filesystem, which added updated kernel, opensrc xorg driver, and other UMM related bits..
I assume it will take a few months, I think, to get it all working together and to same stability/performance/functionality levels as old stuff, hence the add-on approach. Well, maybe this is an over-paranoid view, but there are enough things changing that I wouldn't assume that it will come out of the oven fully baked the first go
