vulkan support for virglrenderer is being worked on.  Its far from being
finished though, and I have no clue whenever that actually buys you
something on macos.  Also the implementation will likely depend on some
linux kernel features (specifically dma-bufs for buffer sharing &
mapping), so even if vulkan is available on macos making virglrenderer
work on macos will require non-trivial porting work.

take care,
