I'd argue the USB3.0/DRM chips should be a 2nd priority, after getting all the legacy DisplayLink devices working smoothly (plug and play) on typical distributions like Ubuntu.

Pluggable has a seeding program that devs can apply to here:

While I have not tried it yet w/ my old DL-195 device, another poster here mentioned Fedora 18 and Ubuntu 13.04 both support Plug&Play for these older devices. I did upgrade my laptop to Ubuntu 13.04 Beta 2 a few days ago to be able to connect reliably to my university's wireless network, so I will update this post when I try it out myself.
