Just a quick write-up of my most recent attempt to use virtio-gpu on my
M2 MacBook Pro, so I (or anybody else) has something to refer to when
trying again in future.
I decided to try again today because Asahi Linux just released their GPU
driver[1]. The result of the experiment was the discovery that
virglrenderer requires OpenGL (ES) 3.1[2], but Asahi's driver currently
only supports OpenGL (ES) 2. Quoting the release announcement:

So for us, it sounds like the thing to do is to wait until newer OpenGL (ES)
is supported, and then try again.
Anyway, here's what I did:
First, I installed installed the GPU drivers on my Asahi install
following the instructions in the release announcement. Then, I checked
out the wayland branches for Spectrum and Spectrum's Nixpkgs, and
grabbed the CARGO_TARGET_*_LINKER and PKG_CONFIG_WAYLAND_PROTOCOLS_PKGDATADIR
fixes from commit fb60a5c9473b0796738aa1b1443b8ee5e5ecd1cb to fix the
crosvm build on ARM.
Then I checked the AsahiLinux/PKGBUILDs repository to see where their
mesa sources lived, and found them using commit af7db4903008b012bca13558261d552ed0828b7d
from https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/asahi/mesa.git.
This Mesa tree was more recent than the one in our Wayland branch, so I
needed to backport some Nixpkgs changes to be able to build it. I
cherry-picked the following commits:
952dbf0a4ae mesa: build more Vulkan drivers on aarch64-linux
906947555d2 mesa: 22.2.2 -> 22.2.3
7a222ffee31 mesa: fix build on darwin
8d7db0597f9 mesa: rm unused attributes
aa8d873a4eb mesa: 22.2.1 -> 22.2.2
33a5279d620 mesa: add vulkanLayers option and default it to device-select, overlay
b4b99f16da9 mesa: re-enable video-codecs
445887f636e mesa: 22.1.7 -> 22.2.1
dd3fc581129 mesa: Install radv override configs into $out
40ee116f25a spirv-llvm-translator_14: init at 14.0.0
ea2ca5e6394 spirv-llvm-translator: version depends on llvm version
And then I applied Nixpkgs PR #204125, which at the time of writing is
still a draft.
At this point, I was able to build Mesa 22.3, and then swap in the asahi
sources. To get the right drivers to build, I set galliumDrivers to
["swrast" "virgl" "kmsro" "asahi"] and enableGalliumNine to false.
Finally, I set up /run/opengl-driver to be a symlink to mesa's drivers
output, since that path doesn't usually exist on non-NixOS.
To debug why it wasn't working, on Puck's advice I ran the VM in the
img/app development shell like this:
nix-shell --arg run ../../vm/app/hello-wayland.nix \
--run 'make clean && LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose MESA_DEBUG=1 EGL_LOG_LEVEL=debug make -j4 run VMM=crosvm'
This produced (among others) the following message:
libEGL debug: context api is 0x40 while config supports 0xd
Puck looked up the value of these constants, and determined that it
means it doesn't find the required OpenGL (ES) version.

If you're going to update Mesa package -- I could try to enable
acceleration in waypipe if I have Mesa build ?

Well, this attempt was a failure, so I won't be bringing in these Mesa
updates, but I will soon be rebasing the Wayland branches onto
Spectrum's rootfs branch, which will bring in a recent Mesa.
I don't think it will help you with the acceleration, though. Mesa just
isn't really compatible with static linking. For acceleration, you
probably need to be using pkgsMusl.waypipe, which will be dynamically
linked and probably have working Mesa.
