Yes and also people who run 32 bit kvm unit tests :)

BTW, I do have a win98 VM which I run once in a while under KVM.
On Intel it works very well, on AMD, only works without NPT and without MMU
pre-fetching, due to fact that the OS doesn't correctly invalidate TLB entries.

I do need to test KVM with OS/2 on one of the weekends.... ;-)

Thanks for the review,
