And what about the OpenSolaris, NetBSD and FreeBSD paravirtualized kernels?!
Who needs the full virtualization?!

:-D

I don't believe that, because the paravirt_ops provides a great virtualization job without the need for a special CPU. There are too many people around the world in this situation...
I don't have too much CPUs with VMX and in all my dom0s that have the VMX flag, I simple disable it in my BIOS.

The mainline Linux with the pv_ops dom0 will arrive some day... for sure!

Cheers,
Thiago
