I don't think it's that straightforward, ISTR the vmx capability on
previous VIA processors being broken, for instance:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/712416
Seems like Avi had investigated and found something pretty broken in
the implementation, but my google-foo isn't able to find the thread. I
suspect nobody, maybe not even VIA, knows if it works on their latest
attempt. Thanks,
Alex
