I don't know what ethernet driver these would need. 2.6.32 linux kernels
already have e1000, 8139*, tg3 etc. drivers. This is the usual issue of
not-so-mature systems, just like Linux had in its early days.
About disk support, I happen to have right now a few days of holiday
with no RL plans (at last!), so I'll work on the SATA driver. Having it
working within a month should just happen.

This already works.
Also, Xen support just works, which is not really like raw hardware
support of course, but still better than full virtualization.
