That's very interesting undertaking indeed.
I always dreamt of playing 3D games in VMs. And I hope, that with the
help of your project, in may become a reality.
I don't know if it's possible to achieve good performance with
emulated 3D hardware - to the point where 3D games would run.
I can't predict about performance. I can't even predict about
the total feasibility to be honest.
Performance depends on how the 3d operations can be offloaded to
actual
3d chips. for example, having a "translator" from the intel 3d
operation
to OpenGL. or maybe something more feasible, to Gallium.
I'll open a public git repository based on my private one if people
are
interested in working on the card emulation. however people should not
expect to be end-user (or testing) material anytime soon. not that i
want to scare people off ;)
