Hardware-Assisted Full Virtualization

KVM features hardware-assisted full virtualization when the underlying x86 processor hardware supports Intel VT-x or AMD-V virtualization extensions. This allows the SMA appliance to setup a virtual context and execute instructions directly on the processor’s hardware.
