The only part that would need to be added to ReactOS is the multiplexing of 
interrupt handling (i.e. handling differently the same interrupts whether 
they came from V86 mode or not). The rest, that is the actual meat of it 
(DOS kernel, Windows API thunking, etc.), will all be in user mode and 
possibly optional

the kernel-mode part will have to be ours. Or we could extend the HAL (if 
it doesn't allow it already) to make the VM pluggable
