Of course you realize that Mach already incorporates
virtualization from the kernel, right?
...and we can effectively use that to run multiple instances of Mac
OS X Server, a la traditional VMs, Solaris zones, or LPARs how?
It doesn't really matter what Mach is capable of if such
functionality doesn't translate to a supported, high-level
featureset in the product.
Hey, it's further along than the non-products that aren't being
offered commercially ;)
The support for hosting OSen is already there and being used today
in every copy of OS X you run. It's just that OS X only launches one
OS on top of Mach. It *could* launch more instances.
The VMM code is in the PPC section of xnu it would seem...
The bluebox related system calls that Google found me don't appear to
be in the current code though. I'm no kernel engineer though so I
won't speculate on how any of this could be used. That is a question
for the macosforge.org people.
