Fabrice made the following suggestion, which I am only just(!) beginning
to understand:

<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2006-11/msg00149.html>

Essentially, I think he would like to see something like the following:

(Guest driver) -> (pseudo PCI adapter emulated by QEMU)-> (Host gfx lib)

This would allow any host to benefit without having to write host
specific code to handle this.  I think that was the point Fabrice was
making.

Thanks,
Gervase.
