How to enable Guest Linux VM on Raspberry PI3?

[Lei Zhou]

Thanks Adam & Jakub for your promptly support.

1>  I will experiment L4Linux on my Raspberry PI3 to get guest Linux VM up.
2>  Yes, after I sycned to lastest <kernkonzept> code base and was able to make Linux VM upworking on the QEMU virtual ARM platform.   Was using the source code from https://svn.l4re.org/repos/oc/l4re/.   Seems they are not exactly the same.

Have a great weekend!

You can only use L4Linux as the Raspberries do not support
hardware-assisted virtualization (because they have the wrong interrupt
controller).
