We've a couple of low priority (for now) mir bugs listed around software
rendering and working in VMs:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1118903
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1157196

Addressing this would widen the platforms supported by mir.

Also, it would likely be a larger piece of work, but how about Wayland
protocol support?
