Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
We are running a Frakenstein WSL2 setup, that we are using Nested Virtualization to run WSL2 inside of a Windows 11 VM, which was attached a RTX 4070 Ti with GPU-P. It seems like GPU was not available inside the nested WSL2 VM because nvidia-smi doesn't work. However, the right drivers are copied from the Windows VM into the VM.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Let us use WSL under GPUP
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
We considered to expose the Docker Desktop instance on host machine and let our engineer to connect to the remote Docker host machine using TCP socket, but this would come at a performance cost.
