Hardware enabling is something that has recently come together pretty well. I just post a bit of documentation about the couple of things that Wayland needs here (scroll to the end): http://wayland.freedesktop.org/architecture.html It's still a bit open-ended with respect to how to bring up the compositor on the hardware, but that's technically not Wayland specific, it's something that each EGL stack solves in different, vendor specific ways.
