  12           Say Y here to get to see options for using your Linux host to run other
  13           operating systems inside virtual machines (guests).
  14           This option alone does not add any kernel code.

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

  37           If unsure, say N.
