This might not be the end of the world as we have an existing implementation for the SGX 540 in the OMAP 4 in the Pandaboard, it will require work to be done to implement such a driver (and I don't know quite how much.)
Very interesting stuff, I'm following your thoughts eagerly.

Are you implying that the Tab kernel has the 540 drivers baked in, or are you having trouble locating them in the Tab sources?
