I know what para vs. full virtualisation is, but you seem to be hinting that these guest OSes have been modified to enable that.....?
As far as I know, only non-VT/Pacifica hosts would need a guest to run a modified kernel (the old Windows on Xen problem).
So has 4.5 been modified such that your could paravirtualise them on old processors, is that your point or am I missing something?
