Was looking for this exact comment. I’m honestly waiting for a tree-sitter (or LSP) based paredit-mode to show up, so that I can use it for all modes and languages, and not just LISP.

Ok. And I assume that’ll all work at PCI speeds making it much more performant than using virtio-based forwarding. Sounds neat. Do I need to do anything besides UEFI boot my virt-manager (QEMU) VM to make use of things like this?

Thanks. So if I’m already UEFI booting my VMs with dedicated volumes, the key difference is how GPU pass-through is done?

I’m not. The default Ubuntu installation media boots with UEFI and secure boot OOB with no action required by the end-user. It literally couldn’t be simpler.
