29As of Solaris 2.5, the /usr/kvm directory is no longer needed by the
30operating environment.  The mount point continues to be provided for
31backward compatibility although all of the contents have been removed.
32
33In earlier releases, /usr/kvm contained the platform specific implementations
34of programs and libraries.  The interface to these platform specific
35implementations was generally advertized to be in a platform independent
36directory and a symbolic link was used to bind the advertized platform
37independent interface to the platform specific implementation in /usr/kvm.
