GVM is a Graphics Virtual Machine for IOMMU-capable computers such as x86 and ARM.
It consists of a loadable kernel module, gvm.ko, that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, gvm-intel.ko, gvm-amd.ko, gvm-nvidia.ko.

Plan
- Survey available information on Mdev/SR-IOV/SIOV internals (rough notes, sketches).
- Comprehensive documentation of Mediated Device Internals. (in progress)
- Meta-analysis of Mediated Device Internals documentation (draw diagrams to explore first principles concepts, come up with working abstractions about device mediation for use with C code). (in progress)
- GVM Architecture documentation.
- Adjustments to GVM Planning/Software Programming.
Software Programming
- Creation of simple gvm.ko core based on Mediated Device Internals meta-analysis (common interrupt and memory management functions suitable for use with driver submodules).
- Creation of gvm.ko submodule interface (suitable for use with interchangeable processor modules such as gvm-intel.ko, gvm-amd.ko, gvm-nvidia.ko).
- Creation of gvm-intel.ko, gvm-amd.ko, gvm-nvidia.ko processor submodules.
