Apparently it has been done...as I understand it, the unichrome drivers 
have been included into the xorg tree..

Some more information at http://washington.kelkoo.net/epia

The owner of the site was involved in the process somehow.

I do know that I had to install and compile the xorg source and then 
compile the unichrome DRM modules and xvmc drivers and install the dri 
module in Fedora 2.6.11... but I did not have to do so when I upgraded 
to 2.6.13.4...
