I've started to implement it once, but haven't come very far. The very
basic instructions are implemented, but that's it. IIRC you could load
the KVM modules but it wouldn't run anything.

If you like I can try to rebase my code on the current SVN version and
send you a patch series.

What I used was only the Intel docs and partly the KVM sources.
