Hello jailhouse,
 just a thought, if I could. AMD64 is not officially delivered and one
 of the most important new features, that is the direct interrupt delivery,
 is without a final specification. in other words, ARMv8 is the only suitab=
le
 architecture for Jailhouse porting, but there is still a bit fog around.
Best Regards,
Carlo
