FWIW for OpenShift's own upstream CI (based on Prow) we deployed
https://github.com/cgwalters/kvm-device-plugin
which is a new fork of the minimized infrastructure from KubeVirt needed
for this.
It runs on a GCP cluster ("build02") and we use it for e.g. testing RHEL
CoreOS and other upstream projects (some parts of Fedora CoreOS too).
There's some use of the OCP Prow instance for projects that live outside of
the github.com/openshift namespace, in e.g. github.com/containers and
github.com/coreos,
although it's not a focus for the CI team.

But I will support use of the plugin elsewhere and happy to share
tips/advice!
