Gfxstream Merged Into Mesa For Vulkan Virtualization

[Quackdoc]

I think you're missing the point; this change means that SPIR-V will be, by definition, complete for DirectX shader programs; which is not currently the case. This means that the host can take on the task of supporting these extensions, and workarounds/fills will be less required. Currently there's a lot of work involved in translating current DirectX onto virtio-gpu hosts, which is one of the reasons there is no adequate D3D virgl driver for Windows yet.

Im not sure how this related to gfxstream

mesa has already had virgl venus for a while

It'll be very cool to see the combination of this and MS adopting SPIR-V in place of DXIL. That makes at least one part of the equation easier.

What about a Windows driver for hardware accelerated Windows guests?

It would be nice to see some proper benchmarks between this and venus

Proxmox, I'm looking at you.

I was going to say SpectrumOS might find this handy but just realized they've replaced CrosVM with Cloud Hypervisor
