What would be benefits, bytheway? I am interested in different kernel architectures, so it would be useful to see how usable can be ReactOS ported to lguest in future, etc.

Not entirely true. There's also a Plan9 port for running in lguest. AFAIK it needs a bunch of precautions (eg. coping with the fact that on bootup, it's already in protected mode, etc) and call certain vectors for privileged operations instead of doing them directly.
