It would need to be a provider that offers HVM nesting, right?  The
provider would host my instance of a newer distro/kernel and then I'd nest
the legacy kernel in an instance running under the newer distro.  What I'm
wondering is whether such a capability is even possible (i.e., do the
processor primitives that support virtualization allow too much access to
the physical hardware, and thus they're not exposed to the hosted/top-level
instance?).
