Its not supported in a generic way that works with 3d-applications in
windows/linux/whatever running in the domU.
The only way to use 3d-applications at the moment is running i.e. linux
in a domU and using http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~andreslc/xen-gl/
for GL-applications to run those on the graphiccard attached to
dom0.

No. Guess the most performant way to get this is to use virtual-
box, afaik they can also use the svm/vt-extension of cpus nowadays.
