Re: some words about oSSI and Xen?

Well off my head one obvious reason: consolidation and scalability.
Maybe people want to run multiple (different) workloads on the same
machine but don't need a dedicated OpenSSI machine for their own
reasons one of which is security.  Though I get where you are coming
from we can manage a lot of different workloads on OpenSSI reliably,
so why bother with virtualization and its disadvantages.
