Well, we can already trap on an arbitrary instruction, by setting a 1 or 0 in
a matrix. That code works already. Virtualization of all instructions is
not filled in yet. That would mean properly emulating their behaviour
in the context of the VM environment, after the exception is generated.
Soon, I'll beginning running some tests, and I'll fill in
more stuff then and test it at the same time.
Anyways, not too far. I think the peripherals/BIOS and other stuff
will be more of a focus soon on getting any particular OS to run.
