^ this. I have an old tree with shadow paging support, but it has rotted quite a bit and probably doesn't work anymore. I took a lot of those extra things out to simplify development and testing early on (shadow paging, nested VT-x, AMD SVM, i386, etc). I have since reintegrated i386 and will do the others moving forward.
