Ok. Since your branch is named rpi, I suppose it has been tested on the
Rasberry Pi. Have you build tested the thing against Bellagio? Can you
clarify for me which hardware platforms does Bellagio support? Or maybe
it's a purely software implementation of OpenMAX, a little bit like the
software rasterizer of Mesa is a pure software implementation of
OpenGL ?

And, yes, having the details on how to test this will be useful for
other users of the Rasberry Pi who may want to test your patches (and
hopefully add their Tested-by).

Also, I'm pretty sure we should find a way to collect this information
of how a package can be used/tested. Should it be in the main
documentation? A per-package readme.txt when it makes sense? In the
help text of the package kconfig option?

Ok, thanks, sounds good.
