Yes, to support older hw. (if you have really acient hw, what distro
would you pick?)

Yes, I am interested, but I'd like a kernel for a generic virtual guest
that works for xen, kvm, virtualbox, vmware and hyper-v. We have the
linux-virt-grsec kernel for this purpose
http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/tree/testing/linux-virt-grsec
Unfortunally, it is lagging behind. If you use it and plan to maintain
it anyways... maybe you could help us maintain it?
I would be ok to start over with your config and then add other virtual
drivers on request.
