It seems from cursory inspection that this is possible in theory, even on HVM
hardware. My thoughts are as follows (Intel oriented, which I know better):
*) The hypervisor sets to trap on VMX type operations (VMXON/OFF/START/RESUME,
etc) and provide emulation of them as follows:
*) When a VMXO
Dor,
Thanks, I realize there will certainly be a lot of work in
virtualizing them. Maybe Intel can help out with VVT-x to give a
root-root mode. ;)
Any idea at a high level how vbox does it? I will post in their forum,
