#KVM
grep -i vmx /proc/cpuinfo #check if the CPU supports virtualization
lsmod | grep kvm #check if the kvm kernel module is loaded
To run KVM, you need a processor that supports hardware virtualization.
Intel and AMD both have developed extensions for their processors, deemed respectively Intel VT-x (code name Vanderpool) and AMD-V (code name Pacifica)
#If 0 it means that your CPU doesn't support hardware virtualization.
#If 1 or more it does - but you still need to make sure that virtualization is enabled in the BIOS.
