Well, there are two versions of the CoreDuo T2300;  the T2300E doesn't
support VT.  We should probably print the flag in dmesg but it will add
silliness to an already overloaded identcpu.c...

I don't think so.  I've intended to try for a while, but haven't
found the time yet.  I do know, however, that NetBSD doesn't run in
a HVM domU (blame it on the qemu backend).

That depends if anyone is working on it.  You can always try and donate
a VT (or SVM which is the AMD counterpart)-enabled system to Manuel with
hope it could speed up the process :-)
