It has been a while I didn't work on these branches.
I don't remember which one was the most updated.
Probably I added some experimental patches on top of them.
But my main question is why Virgl is related to Xspice?
The main intent of the branch is to add support for "frames" coming
from Virgl that are dma buffers. How would you use this feature in
Xspice?
