Since Haiku's GPU acceleration story is (last I checked) rather nonexistent, it seems like it'd be a good way to put an otherwise-unused GPU to use, so long as the GPU supports passthrough in the first place.

I believe you can do this now if you’re willing to run the xen hypervisor. More arms and legs than a “normal” host/vm setup to be sure.
