As far as I understand, major issues would be to make lguest 64-bit,
and invent a POWER replacement for your creative use of i386
segmentation. I need to refresh my memories on power memory management
:)

Probably, a powerpc32 would be easier for a start -- and benefit those
lacking PowerVM :)
It looks like powerpc is currently missing any kind of software
virtualization: kvm is x86, XenPPC seems to be dead, and so is
OpenVZ's powerpc port.

Yeah, and the PUPPIES!! :)
