Previously, graphics_detector only categorized discrete GPUs as TYPE_DISCRETE_GPU and tagged all other devices (including integrated GPUs) as TYPE_OTHER. As a result, kHostVulkanIsNonSoftwareRenderer incorrectly rejected hosts with integrated GPUs as having no non-software Vulkan driver. Bug: b/549217582
These dependencies will be used by the upcoming Venus GPU mode. Bug: b/549217582

These dependencies are required by the upcoming Venus GPU mode. Bug: b/549217582
Based on the original implementation for Mesa CI by @ao2. This adds a new GPU mode using the Venus Vulkan driver, ANGLE, SkiaVK, and drm_hwcomposer. It supports Intel (both i915 and xe) and Qualcomm (msm) platforms, using ANV and Turnip as the host Vulkan drivers. Bug: b/549217582 Test: cvd create --gpu_mode=venus

I noticed that the change in crosvm_manager.cpp has {"androidboot.hardware.egl", "angle"},.
IIRC, epoxy was the GL func pointer loader/helper.
Does venus not support running in a VK only mode? How much work would it be to carve that out and remove the epoxy dep?

Drop the GUEST. Looks like some of the other GUEST_ prefixes might just be a copy paste fail.

Based on the original implementation for Mesa CI by @ao2.
This adds a new GPU mode using the Venus Vulkan driver, ANGLE, SkiaVK,
and drm_hwcomposer, utilizing the cross-domain context type.
It supports Intel (both i915 and xe) and Qualcomm (msm) platforms, using
ANV and Turnip as the host Vulkan drivers.

Test: cvd create --gpu_mode=venus
The first commit fixes kHostVulkanIsNonSoftwareRenderer on internal GPUs.
The following three patches add the virglrenderer, venus_protocol, and minigbm dependencies.
The final commit introduces the new GPU mode.
