| x86-based Linux hosts, allowing users to run isolated x86 guest
| operating systems in virtual machines.

Linux KVM Virtualization Performance
,----[ Quote ]
| The benefits of KVM are high performance, stable, no modifications
| of the guest operating system are necessary, and a great deal of
| other capabilities (e.g. using the Linux scheduler). Once the Linux
| 2.6.20 kernel is officially out the door we will proceed with a
| greater number of KVM benchmarks in various environments including
| looking at the hardware virtualization performance between AMD and
| Intel.
