kvm (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). kvm is divided into the kvm-kmod package (kernel modules) and the qemu package which are both available as separate Slackbuilds. kvm-kmod consists of a kernel module, 'kvm.ko', that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, 'kvm-intel.ko' or 'kvm-amd.ko'. Slackware provides these modules in the 'a/kernel-modules*' packages. In most cases, the provided versions are sufficient to run qemu with kvm support. This kvm-kmod package is only needed if you want to change the kvm modules to a different version. kvm-kmod updates the modules without overwriting the ones provided by Slackware. If you uninstall kvm-kmod, you will need to run 'depmod -a' to regenerate the modules.dep and map files to regain access to the Slackware provided versions.
