In linux kernel since version 2.6.20 (release Date: 2007-02-04)  
Support hosting fully virtualized guest machines using hardware
virtualization extensions. You will need a fairly recent
processor equipped with virtualization extensions. You will also
need to select one or more of the processor modules below.

This module provides access to the hardware capabilities through
a character device node named /dev/kvm.

To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called kvm.

If unsure, say N.
