I really like this, Davide!  Thanks for posting.

This is not ready for practical use, but it is one of those very
interesting projects to start thinking about now and be ready to apply
later.  Virtualization (for x86) started that way ten years ago:
interesting, but how would you use it?  Now that high quality VM
software is available at the same time of highly efficient multi-core
chips, virtualization seems obvious for many situations.

I've read about half their architecture paper.. Good clear explanations
of some really interesting technology.  Looking forward to the rest.
