Nothing you can do for an onside that's called offside, uncalled fouls etc.

I would hope that onside plays would be less likely to be ruled offside as the linesman would be able to give the benefit of the doubt and have the video make the final call.
For the first 3 you could easily have an official devoted to watching the replay in a booth and radioing in the ruling, but for the penalties I'd like to see the on-field official have the opportunity to look at the video in order to further educate his decision. It would be incredibly easy to install a monitor at each goal area to achieve this in the same amount of time currently spent dealing with protesting players.
