Given that those CPUs have only been available from Intel or AMD for a
few *months* (~6), indeed, relatively few are in the hands of users.
Not to mention the performance hit from fully-virt at this point.

already late project just makes it later?  In that case, what/how can we
offload Juan or whomever so they can focus?
