[Mesa-dev] Mesa Intel vulkan driver on VirtualBox

[Jason Ekstrand]

3D graphics virtualization is not as simple as just running the driver
required by the host GPU inside the guest OS.  For desktop
virtualization, it's typically done by the guest providing a different
3D graphics driver which somehow passes through the graphics commands
to the 3D driver on the host.  If VirtualBox doesn't implement this
for Vulkan, you're out of luck.  Simply running ANV in a VM won't
work.
