IIRC someone is working on windows guest drivers, don't know what the
current status is though.  edk2 (uefi firmware) has a driver too.  I'm
not aware on any other guest drivers, and I don't have any plans
personally (and that isn't going to change anytime soon, I'm busy enough
with linux alone).

On the host side virtio-gpu (without virgl) works just fine on any
platform supported by qemu, including *bsd, macos and windows.  I have
no idea if and how virtio-gpu buffers could be shared with other
processes on non-linux platforms though.

cheers,
