Hi,

i just answer the points where i'm currently involved, so someone else
might answer to the other ones ;)

i was working on that last year, but got hold up with other stuff,
but i'm planning to picking this up again this/next week

my solution looked very similar to yours, with additional fields
to uniquely identify the card (to prevent accidental pass-through
when the address changes fore example)

permissions are also planned there...

would be cool, i'd like to have some vgpu capable cards to test here,
but so far no luck (also access/support to/of the vgpu driver
from nvidia is probably the bigger problem AFAICS)
