Since it's embedded, midway is particularly bad suited, I think, even
for prototypes (apart it being expensive and not yet available). :-)

Ok, thanks Ian for the info!

In case one wants to go for cubie, this is where all the information
lives, right?
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARM_with_Virtualization_Extensions/Allwinner

Is it still current? Have things got any better lately, from either
Linux or Xen side?

While this is, I think, the same for Arndale:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARM_with_Virtualization_Extensions/Arndale
which does look less "hacky", at least at a first glance...

Claudio, perhaps you can investigate how easy it would be for you to get
an Arndale board, and fallback on cubie2/truck if it's actually that
hard?

Thanks again Ian,
Dario
