Truth is that it will be of limited use because of that little power these GPUs have. 
People here are mostly because of games. Other usecases are already mostly 
covered. I never had any issues using GUI stuff in VM with fully virtualized GPU so i 
personally see little to no benefit in sharing intel igp with VM. I keep my fingers 
crossed it will extend beyond intel.

On other news seems like AMD is following the suit with their gpu virtualization 
patches but from the sound of it seems like its pretty much for their FirePro GPUs.
