vGPU_Unlock's Merged driver is an optional package you can include but if you don't want to use it there's no explicit dependance. We actually enable these features using a vendor neutral API called VFIO-Mdev:

Here's a few examples of YAML for use with different GPU vendors:
Intel: https://github.com/Arc-Compute/libvf.io/blob/master/example/...
To be clear, I never said it was dead, only a dead end.
As for GVT-g and Xe, according to a post in this[0] issue by one of the Intel devs, Rocket Lake (Xe) is not getting support and only does GVT-d.
Also in the same issue, someone pointed out that Intel themselves have states as much here[1].
I hope I am proven wrong in the end and GVT-g comes to then entire Xe and ARC lineup. Intel's communication on this matter has been...lacking.

Is the process of unlocking these features on Nvidia GPUs similar to something like the vgpu_unlock tool is doing?[1] No affiliation, just came across it trying to find a replacement to the deprecated RemoteFX vGPU and am out of my depth.

It would be helpful to note that Intel GVT-g is a dead end with 10th gen Comet Lake being the end of the road[0]. They do not support it with XE and have instead decided to go with SR-IOV.
I'm curious to see if this could be used in virtualizing macOS with GVT-g for 3D accelerated guests. I know that this was looked at a few year ago and no one had made it work then.
