A safely delegable interface to DRI and friends would be excellent -- not just for jails, but just for the purposes of safely providing access to unprivileged components. However, looking at the recent history of GPU driver bugs (e.g., Samsung) I have worries. As IOMMUs become more widely available, that should help.
