Not sure what you mean. On IBM POWER servers, the hardware's
virtualization support is only accessible to an IBM-developed hypervisor
that is packaged with the system. If you're saying Sparc is in the same
position, I agree that's not very interesting.
On the other hand if those features are available to us, there would be
some pretty interesting kernel work to port KVM to use that
functionality.
