Yes, I guess so. I think VESA should be a BIOS, because
that's what it is in a real machine as well. But you can
always first write it as a plugin, and then convert it to
BIOS form (that shouldn't be too difficult, the main logic
is the same!)

It depends on the plugin. If the interrupt handler in the
plugin returns != 0 the interrupt is reflected back into
the guest, otherwise not.
