That would require a lot of changes to save/restore the segmentation register at kernel entry/exit since there is no swapgs on i386. And will be likely slower there too and also even slow down the VMI-kernel-no-hypervisor.
Still might be the best option.
How did that rumoured Xenolinux-over-VMI implementation solve that problem?
