Another approach might be to para-virtualize the OpenIndiana kernel to run  
under the OKL4 Microvisor.  The FAQ (http://wiki.ok-labs.com/FAQ) suggests  
that "Work has been done already towards supporting MIPS and PowerPC  
architecture processors".  This has been done for Linux (OK Linux).

No idea if anyone has actually tried to para-virtualize OpenIndiana for  
OKl4 or other hypervisors.
