Known Issues
============
* GPU - Preemption (Prioritized Rendering,
* Batch Preemption, QoS Rendering)
* Preemption feature works, but performance is not optimized yet.
* Wifi not supported in guest OS
* Audio pass-through to guest OS, but can only be validated on driver level
using command line or alsa-player, and only supports limited formats
* CSME pass-through to guest OS
* GVT-g is available, need to perform features after configured properly
* Camera works in Android guest. But camera app may crash after 5 mins
* SD card works in Android guest, but does not support hot-plug.
* Surface Sharing: Sometimes the window setup on Service OS takes up to 30 second
* Sometimes system hangs, especially when workload is high (e.g. running benchmarks, playing videos)
