Reactos can be ported to VMI instead:

It will allow reactos to switch between VMI and native HW on the fly.

Can reactos be made to run on Xen or native hardware by detecting either one on the fly?

I look at xen port and it hasn't been touch in a year. Is it possible to
port reactos to xen or is the kernel not mature enought? If it's
possible, how long can it take to have a bare minimum port?
    
 
Its possible there has just been a lack of developer resources. One of
the developers had the boot loader ported however those changes were
not merged in to the trunk.
