I've tried a very quick approach to evaluate how complicated that would
be: 
- The device repositories and HAL related code can be imported pretty
  easily. Some minor changes are needed as there is no lineageOS
  distribution.
- The repositories that are replaced (like mesa, minigbm, etc) seem to
  be needed somehow. If I use the Replicant ones I've get some errors
  about missing headers. I'm unsure what is the best approach here
  between making a stripped down version of these repositories just for
  the header or figuring out another way to integrate the changes
  somehow.
- There is still the boringdroid apk that I didn't look into. While
  it's a separate APK, it looks complicated to build in the sources.

Denis.
