Hi,

Just to be on the same page, are you using the Freescale Embedded 
Hypervisor provided with the Freescale SDK or other embedded hypervisor?

Anyway, the question is not much related with the Linux kernel, so you 
should probably redirect your question to Freescale support. You can 
reach Freescale support at support@freescale.com.
