22 | Support hosting fully virtualized guest machines using hardware | |
23 | virtualization extensions. You will need a fairly recent | |
24 | processor equipped with virtualization extensions. You will also | |
25 | need to select one or more of the processor modules below. | |
26 | ||
27 | This module provides access to the hardware capabilities through | |
28 | a character device node named /dev/kvm. | |
29 | ||
30 | To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module | |
31 | will be called kvm. | |
32 | ||
33 | If unsure, say N. | |
