Have you read Edouard Bugnion’s book? “Hardware and Software Support for Virtualization”. It explains the modern techniques as well as VMware’s trap-and-binary translate hack (using segment truncation) which remains IMO one of the greatest underappreciated achievements in the industry, considering it basically turned unexpected behavior into a multibillion dollar company and ushered in X86 virtualization, server consolidation and ultimately cloud computing.
