I can't predict about performance. I can't even predict about
the total feasibility to be honest.

Performance depends on how the 3d operations can be offloaded to actual
3d chips. for example, having a "translator" from the intel 3d operation
to OpenGL. or maybe something more feasible, to Gallium.

I'll open a public git repository based on my private one if people are
interested in working on the card emulation. however people should not
expect to be end-user (or testing) material anytime soon. not that i
want to scare people off ;)
