I'm a little unclear on the capabilities (current or planned) of
the new paravirtualisation feature in KVM.

Does running paravirtual guests on KVM still require a
hardware-VM-capable processor, or will it eventually be possible to
run a paravirtualised Linux on an older machine (such as, say, a
first-generation Athlon 64)?

As a follow-up question, would it be possible then to run a 32-bit
guest on a 64-bit host?

Thanks,
Hugo.
