Yes, this is my second reply to myself, but I thought folks would like to
know...

To run Windows with a Xen kernel, your CPU needs to have a particular
capability flag -- for Intel, it is "vmx", for AMD, it is "svm".  (One of
these would need to appear in your /proc/cpuinfo file.)

I do think I'm going to upgrade my processor and try this...

But:  Is there an equivalent to this capability in any of the BSD's?
