6a8c859c2f rpi-config,README: Add option to enable offline image compositing
Set this variable to enable support for dispmanx offline compositing
DISMANX_OFFLINE = "1"

This will enable the firmware to fall back to off-line compositing of
Dispmanx elements. Normally the compositing is done on-line, during scanout,
but cannot handle too many elements. With off-line enabled, an off-screen
buffer is allocated for compositing. When scene complexity (number and sizes
of elements) is high, compositing will happen off-line into the buffer.

Heavily recommended for Wayland/Weston.

See: http://wayland.freedesktop.org/raspberrypi.html

164e87c291 sdcard_image-rpi.bbclass: Allow optional compression
Image files will typically contain lots of null blocks and should compress well.
This will help with distribution of images over slow network links.
