Kernel Modules

omaplfb, pvrsrvkm, and bufferclass_ti are the modules that need to be inserted at runtime. omaplfb is responsible for interfacing to the platform specific FrameBuffer driver. pvrsrvkm is responsible for interfacing the user-side PVR services layer. Bufferclass_ti is responsible for enabling a proprietary extension that allows streaming playback through SGX.
