The work to do this is not trivial. however,  im working on moving us to a 
Fedora-9 base.  in doing so we should rebase the kernel.  I understand 
dilinger has done alot of work to make sure we will be able to use 2.6.25  We 
should work with him to make sure that paravirt support in 2.6.25  is turned 
on.

Of course you can use use what we have currently with full virt.  but that 
does require cpu support/  or qemu which will slow things down.
