Super nit: can I convince you to use "KVM: VMX:" instead of "KVM: x86: VMX:"? $ glo | grep -e "KVM: x86: nVMX" -e "KVM: x86: VMX:" | wc -l 8 $ glo | grep -e "KVM: nVMX" -e "KVM: VMX:" | wc -l 1032 I'm very conditioned to scan for "KVM: *VMX:", e.g. I was about to complain that this used the wrong scope :-) And in the event that Intel adds a new technology I'd like to be able to use "KVM: Intel:" and "KVM: ***X:" instead of "KVM: x86: Intel:" and "KVM: x86: Intel: ***X:" for code that is common to Intel versus specific to a technology.
