Then VirtualBox and VMWare are out. The VB OSE version does not provide what you need and VMWare is closed source. That leaves KVM and Xen. I am not familiar enough with them to help much. I have used QEMU but have not been able to try kernel virtualisation yet because I have had a single core processor until recently. However, I am sure there are several people here who can help you.
