A lot. I am participating in the UDI phone conferences and stay in close 
contact with the UDI people. I have restructured the drivers to allow for
a hopefully easy merge later, adopting the UDI driver model as good as 
possible. The drivers in the last KGI snapshot is the result of this.

Also, the UDI people are checking the particular needs of performant
graphics hardware driver can be satisfied with the UDI-1.0 spec.

So, it's going on, but not really code to show yet, except for the 
driver released from my side.
