+ Provides support for KVM on processors equipped with Intel's VT
+ extensions, a.k.a. Virtual Machine Extensions (VMX).
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called kvm-intel.
Change the dependency for KVM_INTEL, i.e. KVM w/ VMX, from Intel CPUs to any CPU that supports the IA32_FEAT_CTL MSR and thus VMX functionality. This effectively allows building KVM_INTEL for Centaur and Zhaoxin CPUs.
