most 'userspace' virtualization systems (Qemu, UML, and i guess VMWare) have a
kernel module that gives the userspace application some access to protected
features of the CPU. usually the very same features that a 'xenified' kernel
have to avoid.
IOW, those systems would have to be Xen-aware to run under Xen, just like the
linux kernel have to be modified. (that's the "para" in
"paravirtualization")
