[Arm-netbook] Should we support libre.computer's efforts at promoting lima?

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

USD $1m would fund the Libre RISC-V 3D GPU effort through to 100%
completion including quite likely actual test silicon in a smaller
geometry like 65 / 55nm (700mhz or so, which for a GPU would be damn
good).
