Well, the guys at XenSource have done it. The "Howto" is both rather
trivial and very complicated:
1. Get source code for Windows.
2. Apply suitable modifications to source code (probably available from
XenSource if you have a documentable Windows source license). Although I
think patches may not be up to date with Xen 3.0.x
3. Go run it.
The difficult part of this is getting a source license from Microsoft -
they do not come with your breakfast cereals as a freebie ;-). More like
you have to pay millions of dollars and sign away the rest of your life
to get it...
Without source license to Windows, you haven't got a chance, except for
getting a processor that supports full virtualization - or using another
virtualization technology which doesn't rely on Xen and modifications to
the source code of the OS. There are several of those available.
