Summary : The Small Developer Kernel for KVM
Description :
This kernel is intended for kernel developers to use in simple virtual
machines. It contains only the device drivers necessary to use a
KVM virtual machine *without* device passthrough enabled. Common
local and network file systems are enabled. All device mapper targets
are enabled. Only the network and graphics drivers for devices that qemu
emulates are enabled. Many subsystems enabled in the default kernel
are entirely disabled. This kernel is meant to be small and to build
very quickly. The configuration may change arbitrarily between builds.
