Status update...

GL Support:
DONE: Verified LLVMpipe supports Mir's default GL renderer (see bug 1576032)

Client buffers:
DONE: We have separated ShmBuffer into generic code so all graphics drivers can 
use it.
TODO: Add support for rendering GL from LLVMpipe to ShmBuffers instead of GBM 
(see bug 1576032)

Server display buffers:
TODO: Add support for rendering GL from LLVMpipe to DRM dumb buffers (see bug 
1575516), or something fb-ish.

Mode setting:
Stuck between a rock and a hard place. Mesa dropped support for fbdev last year 
[1]. Meanwhile, its likely replacement has fallen silent and nothing has landed 
[2].
