Apart from portability to other architectures, what would be the other advantages of a solution based on a PCI device ?
I can think of a two advantages:- the device can deliver interrupts to the guest when something is completed (I don't know how useful this is to a 3D device) - the guest can autodetect the presence of the device by means of a PCI ID. This means that if the guest driver is eventually included in the OS (which is possible in Linux), then the driver will be loaded automatically by the OS.
