Basically I think any modern Intel-platform should be able to do 
passtrough if the GPU is the only device on the CPU-PCIe-ports. The only 
problem is that these notebook-GPUs might not have any display output 
wired up (actually in old notebooks they might be on a muxer which 
Windows-drivers can switch). So you have two options: (1) use a solution 
like Optimus or Bumblebee/Optirun which renders on the GPU and then 
transfers the image into the QXL-framebuffer (wonder if there are any 
prereqs for the driver, but still for Linux guests it should be very 
much possible to let the QXL-driver do what the Intel driver does) (2) 
find a possibility to switch the muxer of your notebook (if it has one) 
which should give you an experience very much like switching vts on 
Linux – which would be _really_ cool!
