Using both Intel VT and AMD Pacifica, guests can run unmodified.  They have a 
similar config file format to paravirt, but with a few differences - there 
are comments in the example*.vmx files.  Both technologies are the same from 
the user point of view, and in turn are similar to paravirt guests (but they 
have a virtual framebuffer, disks handled in slightly different way, etc).

Cheers,
Mark
