Hardware virtualization support for the Cortex A-7 is just now going into the 
ARM kernel. See 
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-October/205060.html 

Here is a link to the A20 home page http://linux-sunxi.org/A20 where you should 
be able to find A20 specific documentation.

If you need cubietruck specific information I would start here 
http://cubieboard.org/support/
