Running VirtualBox guests parallel to KVM QEMU

[didiko]

Hi,
I have a Windows guest on KVM and I'd like to be able to run my VirtualBox guests at the same time, I tried to change the acceleration to KVM but it fails on device is busy.
Is there a configuration that will allow sharing of the KVM engine?
If there isn't is there a technical reason why not?
Just because if this does not exist, I may want to try to add that feature.

No.

If there isn't is there a technical reason why not

?
I would oracle, there is.

You want what? Add that feature to the vbox sourcecode?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Yes, that sounds feasible for my experience.

Most of us here are just users, the devs are too busy to browse the forum. Unfortunately, the devs are the only ones who would know if it were possible to run Virtualbox on top of KVM. They're already trying to run Virtualbox on top of Windows Hyper-V, and that's not all there yet.

Development gets driven by the paying Oracle customers, or by user-contributed code. If you have the IDE moxie to rewire Virtualbox so it will work under KVM, I'm sure the devs would be interested.
