That's awesome!

I know a lot the MIPS ISA, but just the  user part. Nothing about the
privileged instructions. I think Rostedt knows it in more deep, and
can provide more useful comments on this

However, as lguest is purely paravirtualization, there should be
nothing undoable here. You just have to identify the privileged
operations, and stop the guest from doing them - by exchanging them
for hypercalls. And also, being able to write  a mechanism for
switching between guests.

As if it is worthwhile... that's up to you! ;-)
