[Arm-netbook] AllWinner A31 and PowerVR Driver Development Kit

Somebody from Imagination Technologies left a comment on my blog:

The part related to this mailing list is:

"Secondly, the links below contain DDK (Driver Development Kit) source 
packages distributed through our customers:

.....
Rhombus Tech (1.10 onwards)

"


This repo points to something called eurasia_km for A31 Android 4.2.  
This is clearly related to the PowerVR GPU A31, but I don't really 
understand what can be done with this source. Would it be possible to 
use it with a Linux distribution, or the binary part still relies on the 
Android drivers?

I've also seen Mele play 4K videos in Linux on AllWinner A31.

Does that mean a Linux port with GPU and VPU support is technically 
feasible with what is available today?
