Well. They don't ... And even for assigned GPUs it is a PITA. For example the intel rom appears to have the pci slot hardcoded. You have to place the GPU in 00:02.0 (which it has on bare metal), otherwise the rom doesn't work. I would be *very* surprised if the rom is able to handle vgpu devices correctly. Beside that it isn't easy to get the rom in the first place, at least for intel, as it isn't stored in the rom bar but in the firmware flash. cheers, Gerd
