I don't want to turn this into a "let's pile onto vx" discussion, just
more a discussion of how far we can go with the approach
performance-wise. Some of the issues are well brought out in the
paper, I'm just rolling the questions around in my sleep-deprived
mental state.
I'm currently just trying to figure out how to (re)package THX to make
it easier for people to use, and which virtualization system to use
