Need To Create My Own BIOS File
There's a discussion here about this being done successfully on a ThinkPad T460 with a SPI programmer and UEFITool. The same method should apply to the T460p.

5800x3d appears faster after waking up then on cold boot.
If HPET is not an option in firmware, then it is disabled (0x00) and hidden from you. Which in practice is bad. The only option for users in this case is to download your firmware from the vendor, use this tool to locate the register and set the value with this tool to enabled (0x01).

full passthrough of 12th gen Iris Xe seems working now
OVMF: edk2-stable202302 patched with ACRN patch (https://github.com/johnmave126/edk2/tree/intel-gop-patch, also see https://github.com/Kethen/edk2)

Intel Iris Xe (Tiger Lake) passthrough (GVT-D)
Can't use Kethen/edk2 because my BIOS update has no IntelGopDriver (it doesn't even have IntelGopVbt but rather IntelGopVbt2)

UEFI + Intel GVT-D + Display Output + HDR (Kethen/edk2) - Some tips and HDR questions
I wanted to share some tips on how to get this working. The repo below allows you to build an OVMF bios which allows a UEFI virtual machine to work with display output when using Intel integrated graphics: https://github.com/Kethen/edk2

tiger lake Iris Xe single GPU passthrough
I used my laptop BIOS file from which I extracted the efi IntelGopDriver and vbt files (note that it seems to have two vbt in BIOS file), I used the same one I found in "/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_vbt", then I recompiled OVMF with this files using https://github.com/Kethen/edk2.

iGPU passthrough on server - Is it possible?
For Haswell, IGD/GVT-d is possible. Use -machine pc (i440fx) + Kethen/edk2 + vbios_gvt_uefi.rom + x-igd-gms=2. You might be able to get -machine q35 + to work but without boot display. Look for a single GPU passthrough script.

Full passthrough / GVT-d of 11th gen iGPU (Rocket Lake) to Windows 10 guest - logging my attempt.
Try Kethen/edk2.

dual boot or virtual machine?
I was able to get laptop display output to work via i440fx (machine) + Kethen/edk2's OVMF (UEFI) + vbios_gvt_uefi.rom (romfile) + x-igd-gms=2 (2 * 32MB graphics memory). I think you might need to also use CPU host passthrough but I'm not sure.
- Is anyone had a success to passthrough Intel iGPU (Skylake) using q35 emulated chipset?

Single GPU passthrough with intel
