This is so putting the cart before the horse. I only play an operating
system expert in the funny online news pages, but the last place a
driver belongs in the hypervisor. 

It's a hypervisor, It's not a meta-operating system. Oh. and
"met-operating systems?" That's a lousy idea too.

Someone needs to re-read their copy of Tannenbaum's Modern Operating
Systems. Oh, wait, that presupposes they know operating systems A, B, Cs
in the first place.
