IIRC, the binary portion of the accelerator module uses some instructions
(e.g. sti, cli) that can't be directly executed under Xen. Although
emulation for them may now be in the unstable tree, the accelerator probably
won't work in -stable or -testing.
Such a configuration would be rather useful however. Those who are more
knowledgable about QEmu can probably shed more light on this than I, however.
Cheers,
Mark
