The following page will provide specifications and details on the current state of host DRM + VFIO-Mdev drivers in support of various vendors.

Intel i915

Intel's slides mention the ability to accelerate up to '8 VMs plus DOM0'. Source: https://01.org/sites/default/files/documentation/an_introduction_to_intel_gvt-g_for_external.pdf

Intel currently supports host DRM and VFIO-Mdev functionality in it's i915 driver sources.

Nvidia

For more information on host DRM and VFIO-Mdev support on Nvidia drivers refer to section 6 of the vGPU Community Wiki.

AMDGPU + GPU-IOV Module Merged

At this time AMDGPU does not currently support VFIO-Mdev functionality. It may be possible to merge the GPU-IOV Module (GIM) sources with the Linux kernel's AMDGPU driver sources to produce a merged driver for use on AMD GPUs.
