There is the EGL device set of extensions. There are some WIP patches for mesa,
but none are merged yet.

AFAICT no extensions that provide the functionality are available.

Yes there are proprietary drivers that have Wayland support.
Regardless, Wayland is used in conjunction with EGL, which can use the above
extensions.
