| 25 | virtualization capability on the mainframe. This should work |
| 26 | on any 64bit machine. |
| 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 |
