Is this really about running mir or unity8 in a VM? Both kvm and vmware
support enough of drm/kms to run mir.
I am not sure how far virtual box is with its drm/kms support. Two years
ago some parts were missing. Maybe
virtual box could also use qxl + spice for that purpose? But back to the
statement, I think there is a bigger problem
with running ubuntu on systems without shader support and lack of cpu to
use llvmpipe to compensate that. Those systems
are likely to have drm support.
