Kernel-memory-leaking Intel processor design flaw forces Linux, Windows redesign

Hypervisors?

There has been lots of discussion about the impact to individual operating systems but what about VMWare, Hyper-V, and Xen? Are they immune to the issue? Can someone running a VM get access to hypervisor memory, and from there access to all the other VMs on the machine?

Seems to me this is the big issue.
