How is this different than gVisor's nvproxy? https://gvisor.dev/docs/user_guide/gpu/#compatibility

Edit: nvproxy is mentioned as the "direct inspiration" in the readme without mention of how this is different or why it doesn't use nvproxy as a backend.

We borrowed a lot of the architectural design from nvproxy, then built it to support graphical workloads. Plus it is reusable in such a way you can hot plug it into any microVM, cloud-hypervisor, maybe even Firecracker
