[Arm-netbook] Documentation Proposal

[Iain Bullard]

I've been looking into ways to usefully access the hardware media decoder,
at the moment I think creating an openmax integration layer
http://www.khronos.org/openmax/  wrapper around the allwinner closed driver
would be the most useful long term.

For example the Raspberry Pi XBMC release is using openmax to access the
hardware media acceleration, take a look at this repo
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc-rbp (omxplayer core) for the development work
there.

I don't think I'm the only one who's thought this, for example this repo:
https://github.com/allwinner-dev-team/android_external_cedarx seems to have
the OMX headers in place ready for development.

Overall, an openmax IL would allow us to leverage work done for the Rpi but
with a wider selection of media acceleration.

Iain.
