Heh, I just managed to get it work maybe 10 minutes before your e-mail...

I'm building crossvm with:

        cargo build --release --features  "gpu,media,virgl_renderer,x"

To also have GPU working.

Network setup required a rather complex script to set it up without
breaking my ssh section with the machine where I'm running crossvm.

In case you need, I'm enclosing it.

Now, I need to allocate another time slot for tests and review.
