Hrm... You seem to forget iSeries, which had an hypervisor for some
times now on POWER and even runs ... OS/400 :-) pSeries too has an HV
though until recently, it wouldn't do virtual IOs or virtual CPUs, but
the newly introduced pHyp that comes with POWER5 does have all these
features. In fact, newer iSeries use that too.
