This is a big one. Without it, Gnome Shell does not work, but more importantly, *all* display effects are processed by the CPU.

Open up a process monitor and watch both cores spike to 90% when you move a window around the screen. Unacceptable, and horrible for battery life.

Right now we're missing a lot of things - NEON, for which xf86-video-msm seems to be written, and a mysterious yamato_dri file. Also, KGSL DRM has to be enabled in the kernel.
