Debian and its clones Debian GNU/Hurd can now be installed a little easier. "This month Philip Charles created a new installation CD, the L series, for the Hurd, which brings us a big step towards installing the Hurd from the Hurd (without the need of a Linux-based installer). If you enjoy testing stuff, please give it a try."

I think Xen and whatnot have been using/expecting tagged TLBs for a while now.

AMD64 has had tagged TLB literally from the get go. Pacifica and whatever it is Intel names their hypervisor technology have been around for a while too and expanded on that. I think you may be referring to things like nested page tables and such.


Further, x86 allowed for software management of certain TLB functions, as to make a more informed request for a TLB flush.
