I thought that a) the conclusion of VMware's "Comparison of techniques" paper [1] was that x86 and possibly everything is Popek-and-Goldberg-virtualizable [2] via binary translation, and b) the last several years of Intel and AMD chips all have hardware virtualization support, including nested virtualization, that made their architectures Popek-and-Goldberg-virtualizable in the obvious way?
