KVM is a kernel based "accelerator" for virtual machine technologies. It can 
be used by (for example) QEMU under linux. This allows you to utilise the 
vmx (Vanderpool/Virtualisation Technology) in the CPU. This is in feisty by 
default but can be used in other releases too.

KVM is only any use on newish CPUs that have the VT instructions, for 
non-VT-capable CPUs I use the KQEMU module with QEMU.

Cheers,
Al.
