I bought a mini-PC as my home server with a Core i7 12650H inside it. Now I want to make use of its iGPU SRIOV feature to share the ability of parallel computation across multiple VMs. By now, all the tech blogs available to the public are using KVM as hypervisors when enabling the iGPU SRIOV feature. But I'm looking for a type-I hypervisor to achieve better stability and isolation. I'm listing the questions I want to know below:

  1. Theoretically, is Xen expected to work correctly with the current i915 SRIOV driver?
  2. Have there been any tests by Intel or will I be the first to experiment?
  3. If the driver cannot work correctly, will there be a high possibility of breaking the hardware? (say if the firmware is not loaded correctly)
