Description

This would mainly be useful for machine learning development in Docker, and would allow us to use https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker (or similar) to build and run GPU containers.

See https://github.com/mist64/xhyve/issues/108.

Research direction

Start with the linked xhyve issue 108 and compare its proposed approach with hyperkit's existing capabilities. Define the required PCI passthrough and GPU-container behavior before implementation; done means NVIDIA Docker or a similar tool can build and run GPU containers.
