KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). KVM requires QEMU-KVM to create and run virtual machines (e.g. Windows, Linux, BSD) under full system emulation or user mode emulation. QEMU-KVM is a slightly modified QEMU designed to work with KVM kernel modules. KVM consists of a loadable kernel module, 'kvm.ko', that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, 'kvm-intel.ko' or 'kvm-amd.ko'. For improved performance QEMU-KVM also works with 'virtio' modules. Slackware provides pre-built 'kvm' and 'virtio' modules that work with this package. After package installation, add a 'kvm' group and add a user to the 'kvm' group and re-login. Don't forget to load the 'kvm-intel' or 'kvm-amd' module depending on your processor.
