A VM that has to be integrated into the actual kernel in order to support
an exact emulation is certainly prone to bugs and panics.
A VM 'kernel' that is built to operate as a user process, with minimal
intervention by the actual kernel, however, is another matter entirely.
There is almost no chance of the VM panicing the actual kernel in that
case. And, more importantly, such a VM would not be trying to 'emulate'
the kernel, it would actually be running a kernel that is fully aware
that it is operating as a user process.
This is a very different beast we are talking about here. It can be
made very efficient... to the point where it is able to run programs
almost as fast as the real kernel.
