There's virtio_gpu, which I assume is less hairy and better-documented
than real hardware. I think it's graphics-purpose-only. Maybe you'd be
better-off just supporting cards that *only* do ML/NN acceleration?
There's open-source ones.

going "some sort of GPU support would be cool to have".  That isn't
discussion.
