Right, I saw that, too.

For zero copy, you would need a imx6-specific hack^H^H^H^H modification.

So the first question becomes is this.

Q. Does Freescale provide any kind of support for hardware accelerated
   HTML5 video on the imx6?

A. No.

I already knew this. The *next* question, which I am trying to ask
here, is, does anyone have this working at all, like with some kind of
unoffical or alpha-quality patch?

GL is something completely else entirely.
