 yeah, KVM is virtualization built into the linux kernel. Many large companies
run KVM VMs at this point.  My BBS actually runs on a KVM virtual machine, and
I run Dosemu on top of that.  There is, of course, overhead, and I don't think
the Pi has much in the way of virtualization instructions, so I'm not entirely
sure how well it would run.  It might be something fun to play with, though.
