Agreed. It seems like Nvidia is under pressure by their commercial customers for better, directly integrated open source drivers.

There is alot of demand for this kind of simplified virtualization infrastructure in the host side.

Valve has moved the Linux Agenda pretty far forward. I would not be surprised if some of the pressure is from Valve's ARM based improvements. I can see why vGPU pass-through support would be desirable for certain computing applications....or just emulation.
