It will get into the FPGA via the HAL, so it's independent of what method is used to get the data into the HAL in the first place (where I used the streamer module and you used sneaky analog data).
Given that I'll have to modify LinuxCNC to make it work at all (there's no way to extend hostmot2 with pluggable modules) I could just add some way (similar to yours, perhaps) to get bitmap data in via gcode.
