48	  Support hosting fully virtualized guest machines using hardware
49	  virtualization extensions.  You will need a fairly recent
50	  processor equipped with virtualization extensions. You will also
51	  need to select one or more of the processor modules below.
52
53	  This module provides access to the hardware capabilities through
54	  a character device node named /dev/kvm.

147	  to expose a subset of the paravirtualized interfaces defined in the
148	  Hyper-V Hypervisor Top-Level Functional Specification (TLFS):
149	  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/reference/tlfs
