I can think of a two advantages:
- the device can deliver interrupts to the guest when something is
completed (I don't know how useful this is to a 3D device)
- the guest can autodetect the presence of the device by means of a PCI
ID. This means that if the guest driver is eventually included in the
OS (which is possible in Linux), then the driver will be loaded
automatically by the OS.
