It's an XBMC plugin (just like boblight but a version for the RPi). It uses dispmanx to 'grab' an area of the screen so that boblight-rpi can work and send the color information to the LED's. It requires a newer version of the rpi-kernel July 2 2013 or later for this to work.

Ok so it has been implemented into the kernel by a third party, what you need to do is find where this was committed into the rpi kernel (git commit #somerandomnumber) and request it be implemented into the Xbian kernel by providing the commit #.
