[ale] Appropriate hypervisor?

[Jim Kinney]

May have elements of pipedream but may also have bits of reality in it
as well.
A recent upgrade in Ovirt, which uses kvm exclusively, added the
ability to have direct hardware passthrough. This includes things like
fancy expensive NVidia graphics cards and other stuff on the PCI bus.
I've not yet tested this but kvm may be the tool you want to try.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
