Broadcom announced the release of full documentation for the
VideoCore IV graphics core, and a complete source release of
the graphics stack under a 3-clause BSD license. The source
release targets the BCM21553 cellphone chip, but it should be
reasonably straightforward to port this to the BCM2835,
allowing access to the graphics core without using the blob.

Wow. Theres a reversal if I ever saw one.

Good news for us - I know the RPi GPU isn't capable of GPGPU, but we might
be able to speed things up a bit?
