+ Support running guest kernels in virtual machines on processors
+ without using hypervisor mode in the host, by running the
+ guest in user mode (problem state) and emulating all
+ privileged instructions and registers.
+
+ This is not as fast as using hypervisor mode, but works on
+ machines where hypervisor mode is not available or not usable,
+ and can emulate processors that are different from the host
+ processor, including emulating 32-bit processors on a 64-bit
+ host.
