alt Hacker Newstwo semi interesting things to note around this:
1. Virtualization.framework seems to support some form of GPU passthrough from the host (granted, not eGPU - it's for the integrated GPU). I think the primary use case is having macOS guests get acceleration, while still sharing GPU time with the host. There is also a patch that recently hit QEMU mainline that supports using the "venus server" with virtio-gpu to support a similar functionality for Linux guests under Hypervisor.framework.
2. Apple internally has some kind of PCI Passthrough support available in Virtualization.framework. It seems like the code is shipped to customers in the framework, but it relies on some kind of kext or kernel component that isn't shipped in retail macOS. I can't say if that's intended to ever be released to customers, but clearly someone at Apple has thought about this the feature.
I experimented with booting Arm macOS 14-26 in QEMU a while back, building on the work of Alexander Graf for macOS 12-13, and reverse-engineered substantial parts of Hypervisor.framework, the in-kernel hypervisor, and a bit of Virtualization.framework. Got newer versions of Sequoia to boot past the log in screen, with GPU acceleration too.
Unless there's another method I missed, the internal GPU "pass through" of Virtualization.framework you're thinking of might actually just be paravirualization, at least that's what the name suggests. It's implemented in the public ParavirtualizedGraphics framework [0], albeit for PG on Arm macOS, the relevant interfaces are private [1]. I haven't looked that deep into it per se, but, fixing the bugs around it, I've run into a few clues suggesting that it's just a command stream + shared memory being passed around. It also uses its own generic driver on the guest side.
Great job, by the way! Love how authors of pieces like this casually come here to comment :)
