It'd be great of this meant SR-IOV for all GPUs, but this seems like it only allows for sharing of a GPU to multiple guests. And even then, with most of the driver being on the GPU this might not help regular consumer GPUs at all (features being disabled in firmware). But I really don't know anything about what this actually means.
Even if it is minor (and like you, I don't know whether it is or not), Nvidia opening their source, even if only little by little, is probably still a good thing.
Agreed. It seems like Nvidia is under pressure by their commercial customers for better, directly integrated open source drivers.
Valve has moved the Linux Agenda pretty far forward. I would not be surprised if some of the pressure is from Valve's ARM based improvements. I can see why vGPU pass-through support would be desirable for certain computing applications....or just emulation.
