Help text

Support hosting virtualized guest machines. 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.

If unsure, say N.

Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) support found in arch/ia64/kvm/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_KVM:

• prompt: Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) support
• type: tristate
• depends on: ( CONFIG_BROKEN ) && ( CONFIG_HAVE_KVM && CONFIG_MODULES ) && ( CONFIG_BROKEN )
