I don't know if they're pushing it for the QFX5100, but I think
on the QFX10k line they're pushing the ability to run another
guest VM alongside the 2 JUNOS VMs on the switch's x86 CPU.
See page 4 on the spec sheet:
http://www.juniper.net/assets/us/en/local/pdf/datasheets/1000531-en.pdf=20
No idea what's involved with packaging the VM and getting it there, but
should open up some interesting possibilties.
