I did this back in 2013 I think. I had a desktop and a laptop that both supported IOMMU device passthrough. I used the Xen hypervisor at the time, and had a VM that I could migrate and then hotplug all the PCI devices to between the systems.
I never got it past the "playing around with it stage," but I was just _so_ sure that the market was going to move that way... Imagine your phone and laptop just migrates out to the cloud every time you lock it, then live-migrates back in when you wake it up... Or at least between your tiny laptop and your beefy desktop. Because nobody would have just one computer!
It sure sounds cool to me, but the reality is that it's too clunky. Virtualization and live migration are absurd solutions to consumer-level problems.
