I think at least it should be possible to pass through DV since the metadata is supposedly buried in BTB(or was it WTW, or both?), if one can isolate the metadata.
At least Calman is able to calibrate DV modes with normal GFX cards (they only support Intel officially).
I don't know whether Kodi demuxes and passes the elementary stream to the decoder or not.
Dolby Vision employs 8-bit RGB tunneling and I don't think you can isolate the metadata easily. xvYCC is the one that uses 0-15 and 236-255. Where did you read that Dolby Vision metadata is carried in 0-15 range?
Calman also employs the same RGB tunneling to generate Dolby Vision test patterns.
