| If you say Y here, KVM will use the hardware virtualization |
| facilities of POWER7 (and later) processors, meaning that |
| guest operating systems will run at full hardware speed |
| using supervisor and user modes. However, this also means |
| that KVM is not usable under PowerVM (pHyp), is only usable |

| Support running guest kernels in virtual machines on processors |
| without using hypervisor mode in the host, by running the |

| privileged instructions and registers. |
| |
| This is not as fast as using hypervisor mode, but works on |
| machines where hypervisor mode is not available or not usable, |
| and can emulate processors that are different from the host |
| processor, including emulating 32-bit processors on a 64-bit |
| host. |
