KVM also supports AMD's virtualization extensions (not just Intel's).

This means Core Duo, Pentium-D 9xx (not 8xx), and Xeons. Maybe a couple others. I have one. Pentium-D on a Asus 945G. (Nice.)
You need to have support in the motherboard also. If you don't have support, but you feel your cpu should support it.. look for a bios upgrade to add support.
For AMD any AM2 socket CPU except Sempron will support the SVM stuff. Also telling is if your AMD cpu supports DDR2 then it will support the extesions.
The userland stuff is essentially a slightly modified Qemu VM.

Actually, being a Pentium-D 9xx it's not enough. It needs to be 9x0.
And will probably become very useful very fast. http://kvm.sourceforge.net/Coming soon to a kernel near you
The linked page is unclear, but I seem to remember that you need special hardware (new processors basically) for that, am I wrong?

The hardware (your cpu and motherboard) have to support VT (intel) or AMD-V (or SVM) to use this.Coming soon to a kernel near you

... This means Core Duo, Pentium-D 9xx (not 8xx) ...
As an example, a Pentium D 940 has VT support, while 945 doesn't.
