I'm wondering if PPC processors such as the 970FX/MP
offer hardware virtualization opportunities comparable
to what is described in the XenSource FAQs in
reference to Intel?s VT and AMD?s Pacifica processors.

Do these G5(?) PPC processors support hardware
virtualization at all in the VT/Pacifica sense, or
perhaps in the z/VM sense (Ok... that's probably just
wishful and silly but hopefully it conveys the scope
of the question)?

Will I ever get to run OS X on "the bare metal" of my
Powermac QUAD with paravirtualised I/O complements of
Xen? 

Thanks,
Darius
