FWIW, both OpenEmbedded, and the OE derivate O-hand uses already use the surface cache by
default:

Poky: http://www.openembedded.org/bonsai/view/rev/24561/
OE: http://www.openembedded.org/bonsai/view/rev/24556/

So a large chunk of the embedded community might already be using that patch without even
knowing it :)
