There is already a blueprint at linaro:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linaro-graphics-wg/+spec/multimedia-linaro-dri-1105

We have recently tested the state of Qt acceleration on the MX51, in
order to find out which is the best way to make use of the
possibilities. However, at least at the moment this requires highly
experimental Qt sceenegraph git branches, and even then it results in
lower perfomance than with software rendering ...

But for the long term, the linaro blueprint looks like the way to go.
