Yes, as Fredik says, the MMU is the tricky part. It can't be
emulated (at least not if one want something that is usable)
but has to be virtualized on top of the x86 CPU.

If one virtualizes the MMU, then one can probably get something
that runs fast enough. I believe one should start from
scratch though since most PowerPC emulators out there are
not really suitable for MOL.
