AMDGPU and virtualization

[juno]

The HW virtualization support exposes multiple instances of the GPU hardware and state (up to 8 on current HW IIRC), one for each guest, and allows the hypervisor to manage guest access to shared hardware resources. This allows relatively simple VM support (more like pass-through) to still share a GPU between multiple VMs.

Yes, this sounds so great and everything, but when will we be able to use this in something else than VMware, like a "standard" kvm setup?
BTW: is Tonga the only GPU that has this features? If yes, why not Fiji? Will it be in P10 or Vega?

I think Fiji has SR-IOV functionality as well. Not sure about other hypervisors, will try to find out.

Graphics-intensive apps are a problem for VDI because they use up valuable resources, but GPU virtualization outsources the rendering burden download shareit
