Re: [Xen-devel] KXen preview now available

[Jun Koi <junkoi2004@xxxxxxxxx>]

One more question: is it true that this requires virtualization
hardware (VT-X/Pacifica)? Or it can also do binary translation (using
Qemu), so it can even work with very old hardware?

The README is not so clear, hence my questions.

Thanks,
J
