Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Guest OS without paging
If you have A box with VT cpus, then you can try the unmodified (vmx)
guest. Eg the old DOS can boot on top of it. It is also used to boot
windows guests on top of Xen.  With vmxloader guest thinks that it is in
real mode but actually it is running in the vm86 mode.

Thanks & Regards,
Nitin
