    This class represents a virtual machine monitor.

    Implementation details:
    This is an abstract class, leaf subclasses must implement the methods
    listed here and in parent classes which have no implementation. They
    may reimplement methods which already have an implementation. You
    must not instantiate this class but should instantiate one of those
    leaf subclasses.
