As Theo de Raadt so eloquently said:

  "x86 virtualization is about basically placing another nearly
   full kernel, full of new bugs, on top of a nasty x86
   architecture which barely has correct page protection. Then
   running your operating system on the other side of this brand
   new pile of shit.

   You are absolutely deluded, if not stupid, if you think that a
   worldwide collection of software engineers who can't write
   operating systems or applications without security holes, can
   then turn around and suddenly write virtualization layers
   without security holes."
