[Kasireddy, Vivek] I was kind of hoping you'd not draw that implication :)

Well, "cleanly" pretty much implies "supported by toolkit".
gtk glarea for example sets up a framebuffer and expects the application
render to that framebuffer. So qemu glarea code does a fb-to-fb blit.

Enabling this feature would eliminate data copies from the resource
object in the Guest to the shadow resource in Qemu. This patch series
however adds support only for Blobs of type
VIRTIO_GPU_BLOB_MEM_GUEST with property VIRTIO_GPU_BLOB_FLAG_USE_SHAREABLE.
Most of the patches in this series are a
