I'm wondering if anyone with Optimus or PowerXpress has tried to do
some device virtualization as described here:

This requires an intel core i5/i7 (some first gen and all sandybridge)
a laptop bios that supports Vt-d, and dual graphics.
You would use the IGP graphics for your linux dom0 host, and reserve
the other VGA pci address for a specific guest, like windows.
Everyone I see trying has done it on a desktop machine, laptops are
always a special challenge :)
Thanks,

It's a good idea, but VT-d is a problem. Not many laptops have BIOS
support for it and certain Sandy CPUs like the 2630QM don't.
You'd really need a Quadro Optimus or NVS Optimus laptop to pull this off.
