I believe XenServer exposes everything you need in the VGPU_type class:

VGPU-uuids ( RO):
framebuffer-size is the video RAM.
The number of vGPUs of a particularly type that can be supported on a pGPU (the
fraction of the GPU you get, if you like to think of it that way), is in the
GPU class as supported_VGPU_max_capacities.
XenCenter has none of this knowledge hard coded, so anything visible in
XenCenter comes from XenServer over the XenAPI.

Subject: RE: Review Request 17889: CLOUDSTACK-4762: Enabling vGPU support for
XenServer.
If we look at [1] section "Interoperability and compatibility requirements"
each of the cards supports certain profiles which has underpinning to Video RAM
it supports, no of vGPUs that can be supported on one physical GPU. These
mapping are maintained in CS. This mapping is required for the planner to pick
a host which has the required resources to deploy a VM. Currently XenServer
does not expose the Video RAM that each profile supports. Once we have that and
all other loose ends around resources available vs used are taken care of then
we can try to dynamically learn the lists from the hosts.
