Yes, there are kernel changes necessary, QEMU doesn't have any idea where the device stores the framebuffer, when it's accessible, when it changes, etc. There's a vfio interface being designed to support passing dma-bufs to userspace for this purpose for Intel and vfio regions with framebuffer data for NVIDIA. > For now, mediated devices are usable for linux guests and in windows > may > be for opencl and background rendering, right? Any remote desktop software that can be used on bare metal can be used in the VM, ex. VNC server, HP RGS, NICE DCV, even Steam streaming. QEMU is not the only way to get to a "desktop" for the GPU.
