I ran some simple benchmarks measuring the performance
of the Plex86 I/O subsystem, and there is room for
improvement.  By moving part of the logic for devices
to the vmm, we can minimize the number of world
switches needed for device emulation, while still
using the host os for all I/O.  Although this will
mean loosing bochs compatibility, it could be a major
performance improvement.

Also, what is the state of the binary re-writing.  I
did some measurements and looked through the source,
it appears that ALL instructions are being emulated. 
Is this true?  I tried running the dt version, and it
was even slower than the 100% emulation vm.

Thoughts/flames?
