[I made a private reply but it may interest other people!]

Currently vl only supports x86 as host, but nothing would prevent it 
from supporting other hosts provided the host page size is 4 KB. Some 
small patches are needed for precise timer support (rdtsc) and to fix 
endianness issues in the kernel parameters.
