The key is the virtual MMU; getting bootstrap/IPI working is straightforward. Without NPT or EPT, we need to have an SMP-capable shadow pagetable code. I think one of the most efficient ways is to re-use the code from Xen. The current one is the third generation of the shadow page table, and it works well.
