AMD provide ME from DX11 and windows 7 via custom LiquidVR API. But it may be still windows only and not Linux compatible. Though DX11 may be easier to emulate at Linux if AMD provide all needed drivers.

In better case Linux community need to define ME API for applications and provide DDK for hardware developers (intel/amd/nvidia) to develop required drivers support for this API. May be it will also helps to UNIX developers of x264 MPEG encoder to have some help from hardware ME accelerator too.

May be Linux developers may add ME (and MPEG encode/decode) to Vulkan API and ask drivers developers to support it.
