I am not a specialist but this seems very complicated if not virtually impossible. Unlike mac's that are standardized; PC are found with different hardware. Knowing each hardware that can exist is virtually impossible for a virtual machine like virtualbox. Arbitration between host and guest requires a certain level of cooperation from the guest but Windows is not done at all in this mind and due to its proprietary nature cannot be customised.

Normally Lilo/Grub put the kernel and initrd in memory; qemu can put a linux kernel image and an initrd in memory directly. This can be convenient as it save a Lilo/Grub configuration but offer nothing more.
