Well... MOL does it pretty well :) It's more difficult but

Still, it is currently impossible to run a linux 2.6 kernel on top

Irrelevant. That's a detail of nobody taking the time to fix the bug.
The mecanism used by MOL would work for something like Xen which was
my
point.
Technically, perhaps. But MOL not supporting 2.6 is not irrelevant
from the user's perspective.
If it doesn't work--regardless of where the problem lies; whether MOL,
2.6, or the underlying hardware--it's still broken. Given the lack of
mention of support for the year-old 10.4(Tiger) and that 2.6 is >2
years old; I wouldn't be surprised to find that MOL is an inactive
project.
But I hold out hope....
