Through my crystal ball I forsee, open-source user space machine-
virtualization under linux ... And a pricy z/Series Virtualization-assist
kernel module. Amazingly amid the bits and bytes of these modules and
executables I see the oft repeated letters "HCP" and there is an aura of
nostalgic deja-vu for anyone who has ever glanced at any of VM's control
block structures.
