I've previously read (probably on Phoronix) that Linaro is working out a 'standard' kernel interface for 2D blitters IPs as commonly found on SoCs.

Has it ever been the case? If yes, are there any documentation/references online?

I wonder if you are talking about dma-buf and the other collection of work around Unified Memory Management:

It's not really specific for 2D blitter IPs, but it does define how memory can be allocated and shared between different devices, particularly between the CPU, display controller and GPU IP.
