I haven't tried myself, but I have read in a few spots that it can't be |

done. |

If you use a new Intel processor with VT support or an AMD processor |
| 13 |
with Pacifica then you can run unmodified guest kernels. You could then |
| 14 |
patch your guest kernel with SELinux/PaX/GRSecurity however you pleased. |

There is possibly a performance hit involved with using the new |
| 17 |
virtualisation features in the CPU as apposed to porting the guest OS to |
| 18 |
run under Xen although I am not aware how much. Does anyone else know? |

I would certainly like to be able to run PaX, GRSecurity and Xen together. |
