I was looking at the A20 a while back. This has a Cortex-A7
-compatible processor, right? Does it do hardware virtualization,
ideally without too much hacking?
Hardware virtualization support for the Cortex A-7 is just now going into the ARM kernel.
See
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-October/205060...
Here is a link to the A20 home page
http://linux-sunxi.org/A20 where you should be able to
find A20 specific documentation.
If you need cubietruck specific information I would start here
http://cubieboard.org/support/
