Hello jailhouse, just a thought, if I could. AMD64 is not officially delivered and one of the most important new features, that is the direct interrupt delivery, is without a final specification. in other words, ARMv8 is the only suitable architecture for Jailhouse porting, but there is still a bit fog around.
