Hello jailhouse,
just a thought, if I could. AMD64 is not officially delivered and one
of the most important new features, that is the direct interrupt delivery,
is without a final specification. in other words, ARMv8 is the only suitable
architecture for Jailhouse porting, but there is still a bit fog around.
Best Regards,
Carlo
