	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.
