qemu: enable virgl support (virtio guest gpu with 3D support)
It would be great if virgl support could be enabled in qemu to provision qemu guests with 3D GPU support:
Virgil is a research project to investigate the possibility of creating a virtual 3D GPU for use inside qemu virtual machines, that allows the guest operating system to use the capabilities of the host GPU to accelerate 3D rendering. The plan is to have a guest GPU that is fully independent of the host GPU.
Most of the bits and pieces are already available in Alpine. I think the only missing piece was the virglrenderer library but it’s now available in the testing repo (I submitted a package a few months ago).
