AMD Pacifica and Intel's VT make possible the virtualization of 
unmodified operating systems. Is it still necessary to add code 
to the hypervisor to support specific operating systems, or can 
Xen, as written, support any arbitrary OS that successfully boots
on a PC? (I'm thinking of the BSDs here).

Thanks,
Dave Feustel
