Now *that* is *cool*.

Does this stuff depend on hardware virtualization features, or is it
something that should be a fairly routine (if tedious) port to anything
that already runs NetBSD?  (I would think it would be the former,
because I have trouble seeing how things like syscalls from user
programs could be handled right otherwise, but I've been surprised
before....)
