+Row 15 is a **deferred future goal**: host NVIDIA-driver acceleration over a
+virtual function. The feasibility verdict and a first design sketch are
+recorded there for planning; it is not on the active critical path (guest CUDA
+execution, multi-VM, 3D, performance come first).

decompilation record, address reference, historical protocol notes). Wiki
