After some searching, I think this must be the discussion you are talking
about: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2009-02/msg00295.html

I'm linking it here in case anyone else is interested.  From that discussion
and reading elsewhere, it sounds like VirtualBox may be the forward solution
to virtualization on non-vmx/non-svm hardware.

Does Canonical or any Ubuntu virt developers have any concern for
virtualization on non-vmx/non-svm hardware?  And what do you (they, anyone)
think of vbox as the Ubuntu solution to fill this void?
