Doesn't solve that it needs VGIC emulation, which I highly doubt has
gone into the mainline kernel.  So KVM would still not be easy.

Even looks like the current emulation patch is mutually exclusive with
normal VGIC support in the kernel, so not something ready to go in at
this point.

I'm obviously watching these ongoing threads with a lot of interest :-)

If I can ask two questions so that there's a summary in a single place ready for me to get back onto this:

* Assuming a host kernel that has apparently been built with KVM etc., what's the best way to test that it exposes the required functionality?

* What's the recommended Debian guest, and am I correct in assuming that the only indication of whether it's using KVM etc. is its speed of execution?

I'm interested in embedding a low-traffic DMZ in a firewall, I think Qemu is adequate for this but wouldn't trust weaker containerisation.
