+KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution
+for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT
+or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides
+the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module,
+kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. KVM also requires a modified QEMU although
+work is underway to get the required changes upstream.
+
+Using KVM, one can run multiple virtual machines running unmodified Linux
+or Windows images. Each virtual machine has private virtualized hardware:
+a network card, disk, graphics adapter, etc.
+
+Reload udev rules.  # /etc/rc.d/rc.udev reload
+
+How use kvm with a non-privileged user:
+
+Add kvm group # groupadd kvm
+Add user to kvm group. Re-login.
+
+# modprobe kvm-intel or # modprobe kvm-amd
