9 | Say Y here to get to see options for using your Linux host to run other |
10 | operating systems inside virtual machines (guests). | |

11 | This option alone does not add any kernel code. |

13 | If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled. | |

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