virgl Windows driver

Summary: accelerated rendering of Windows guests

virgl enables accelerated 3d rendering in a VM. It currently only supports Linux guests.

There is some working prototype of virtio-gpu dod driver already. The goal of this project would be to enable 3d rendering. By working on an OpenGL Installable Client Driver (probably as a first step), and DirectX support (could be worth investigating and using the 'nine' mesa state tracker)
