The package looks ok from a quick look, but how is it supposed to be
used? I wouldn't like to see patches to a bunch of packages to link
against this.

It isn't really rpi specific either.

As the author of the package says, the library is used using
LD_PRELOAD on the target.
So no patch should be needed for any packages.

I don't know about that, the author says it's rpi specific.

Ok, great.

The optimizations presumably also applies to other ARM11(76) processors
with similar memory speed.

You're absolutely right, if someone as such a platform, it would be
great to know if it works or not !
