I would strongly suspect so. Up until last month I was running vserver
on a 10 way box so SMP isn't an issue.

the hardware support is aimed at a much lower level of virtualisation
(i.e. hardware virtualisation rather than operating system level
virtualisation) than VServer. Plus I'm not sure that VServer /needs/
any hardware support - I've never managed to measure the overheads
involved. Have you looked at any of the KVM work that is slated ot go
into the mainstream kernel soon. I believe they are proposing using the
AMD extensions:
