This isn't supported yet, but unikernels on Xen don't currently switch address spaces (cr2 on x86). We're thinking about how to increase density by supporting process switching on Xen, which isn't hard, but needs to be done carefully.
Xen also supports memory sharing among VMs if running in a hardware container, and Hwanju Kim added support for "PVH" mode to MiniOS recently which unlocks this functionality in Mirage. Early days on this work, but fun ones, since we aren't bound by the compatibility constraints of Linux containers, but have access to the same hardware resources.
