+	  Virtual Secure Mode (VSM) is a set of hypervisor capabilities and

+	  VSM achieves and maintains isolation through Virtual Trust Levels
+	  (VTLs). Virtual Trust Levels are hierarchical, with higher levels
+	  being more privileged than lower levels. VTL0 is the least privileged
+	  level, and currently only other level supported is VTL2.
