Hi,

For the past while, I've been maintaining a patchset for Cloud
Hypervisor that makes it possible to use crosvm’s virtio-gpu
implementation over vhost-user to provide a virtual GPU device to Cloud
Hypervisor guests.

It’s likely not upstreamable, especially as-is, but given there’s demand
for this[1][2], and some other people have already started using my
patches, I figured it was worth releasing them properly.

The patches, along with more information, are available at:

https://spectrum-os.org/software/cloud-hypervisor

I’ve been keeping them up to date with new releases of Cloud Hypervisor,
and expect to continue to do that.

The patchset is developed and maintained as part of Spectrum[3], a
project to create a compartmentalized desktop operating system.

I’m not sure where the best place will be to announce updated versions
of the patchset yet. Spectrum Discuss mailing list? Cloud Hypervisor
list? A new one? Feedback very welcome.

Get in touch if you have any questions,
Alyssa
