Arch : x86_64

Summary : Wrapper to enable KVM acceleration under QEMU
Description :
QEMU provides full machine emulation and cross architecture usage. It closely
integrates with KVM and Xen virtualization, allowing for excellent performance.
Many options are available for defining the emulated environment, including
traditional devices, direct host device access, and interfaces specific to
virtualization.
This package provides a symlink to the main QEMU emulator used for KVM
virtualization. The symlink is named qemu-kvm, which causes the QEMU program
to enable the KVM accelerator, due to the name reference ending with 'kvm'.
This package is an artifact of the early origins of QEMU, and is deprecated.
