Hi, With tegra-drm going into Linux 3.8 and NVIDIA posting initial patches for 2D acceleration on top of it, I've been looking at the various ways how this can best be leveraged. The most obvious choice would be to start work on an xf86-video-tegra driver that uses the code currently in the works to implement the EXA callbacks that allow some of the rendering to be offloaded to the GPU. The way I would go about this is to fork xf86-video-modesetting, do some rebranding and add the various bits required to offload rendering.
From a purely logistical standpoint, if you do choose to create a fork, calling it xf86-video-tegra might be a problem since there's already an existing tegra_drv.so.
You could probably graft tegradrm support onto xf86-video-nv pretty easily, if you want to reuse an existing driver package.
