86 If you say Y here, KVM will use the hardware virtualization
87 facilities of POWER7 (and later) processors, meaning that
88 guest operating systems will run at full hardware speed
89 using supervisor and user modes. However, this also means
90 that KVM is not usable under PowerVM (pHyp), is only usable
Paul Mackerras9e368f22011-06-29 00:40:08 +000091 on POWER7 (or later) processors and PPC970-family processors,
