It is not our focus at the moment; we are targeting operating systems that support a modern ARMv7 machine with GIC support. That said, it might be possible to run legacy guests in the future, introducing more emulation to the hypervisor. > - What if my Cortex-A15 board does not have a GIC with virtualization support ? We expect most hardware vendors to provide a GIC with virtualization support. However if they do not, in order to support their boards we'll have to do more emulation in the hypervisor.
