All GPU from PowerVR don't have open source driver including GMA500(SGX535) which have driver in linux but source code is closed.
Well, lets not confuse ARM with PowerVR, those two are completely different things. We can argue that Linux lacks good PowerVR support, which is mostly true.
Besides don't know how much hardware acceleration can help you with ordinary web rendering, not flash stuff, mind you.
