The virtualization stuff isn't offloadable. They're a bunch of invasive changes to the memory and I/O paths of the processor core, not stuff that could be handed off to a coprocessor.



You could route a lot of the I/O paths through the FPGA if it was suitably wired. A slight latency bump to make aspects of virtualization never require any cycles to be spent handling them.
