tool. "Qumranet is the inventor and key maintainer of KVM, the only
virtualization technology that is fully incorporated into the Linux

complete, highly functional, virtualization platform. Red Hat believes that
a strong coupling between the hypervisor and the kernel is a major
advantage." (thanks to Matt Domsch).
