And this does not depends if it run in a virtual machine or in a physical device. The only problem may be in the case of a "bootloader open" device where is possible to run vmware mobile. In this case developers may prefer to not port the kernel and use a well tested kernel for the virtual hardware. But... how many of that devices exists now? While I suppose in the future we should see a lot of closed devices but vmware capable. These will attract a lot of Linux users that actually still do not buy a freerunner due to it's cost and hardware/software limitation.
