If you look at how the "competition" is approaching it, you need GPU
hardware capable of virtualization such as Nvidia Grid, Radeon Sky(?),
Intel GVT-g and hypervisor support.

Not something I've ever played with, but it seems kind of like IOMMU to
me. You could write a software layer to provide slow virtualized GPUs, or
use hardware for faster ones.

Of these, it seems like Intel's approach is the most open source friendly.
XenGT has working code. No idea how hard it would be to integrate with
Qubes, though.

I like it! Let's rename the FAQ to Frequently Asked Qubestions.
