25 Support hosting paravirtualized guest machines using the SIE
26 virtualization capability on the mainframe. This should work
27 on any 64bit machine.

29 This module provides access to the hardware capabilities through
30 a character device node named /dev/kvm.
31
32 To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module
33 will be called kvm.
