[ale] Virtualization coming in 2.6.20 Vanilla

[Greg Freemyer]

Unfortunately I agree with you.

I thought the xen / vmware teams were trying to put some common
support code into the kernel.  Based on that I assumed that KVM was
the results of their work.  Looks like I was wrong.

KVM only works with new generation cpus that have virtualization
support.  I don't have any of those yet.
